[HCRA] Information about WWVB Radio-Controlled Clocks

[Steve Rodowicz]

Did you get a new "Radio-Controlled" Clock for Christmas?

If so, wonder how its supposed to work?

Here's a link to the info from the NIST

http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/radioclocks.htm

Note in the coverage maps, that the radiation pattern is broad and 
generally SE from Colorado.

Unfortunately, the "advertised" coverage only goes as far as New York & 
perhaps SW Connecticut.
Doesn't mean it won't work here in New England, but don't count on it. 
Obviously YMMV.
(BTW: I have one in Chicopee, MA that is wonderful 99% of the time., Other 
times I've woken
up to find that the clock is off by years and days and minutes.)

Happy Holidays,
