The SkyScan ATOMIC Clock
With the Skyscan Atomic Clock, you have the most accurate timepiece within the continent. It can receive the time signal
transmitted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which is regulated by 3 atomic clocks and deviates
less than 1 second within 3,000 years. The NIST broadcasts the time signal (WWVB, 60kHz) continuously from Fort Collins, Colorado.
This signal can be received anywhere in the continental USA that long wave (AM) radio reception is possible with a portable radio.
I! is expected that the signal can cover a distance of over 2,000 miles from the transmitter. Therefore, your clock will receive the signal
within the broadcast range anywhere an AM signal can be received; generally the signal cannot be picked up in massive metal and
concrete structures unless near awindow. In addition, some environmental effects (see next page) may affect the transmitting
distance.
For more information, please study the WWVB WEB page of NIST at:
