ABOUT WWVB (radio-controlled time) 
 
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and 
Frequency Division) radio station, WWVB, is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado 
and transmits the exact time signal continuously throughout the United States at 
60 kHz.  The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal 
antenna in the indoor weather station.  However, due to the nature of the Earth’s 
Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours.  The indoor weather 
station will search for a signal every night when reception is best.  The WWVB 
radio station derives its signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, 
Colorado.  A team of atomic physicists continually measure every second of 
every day to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second a day.  These physicists 
have created an international standard, measuring a second as 9,192,631,770 
vibrations of a Cesium 133 atom in a vacuum.  For more information about 
WWVB please see the NIST website at
