The NIST 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 atomic clock. However, due to the nature
of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The atomic clock 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
measures every second of every day to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second a day. This
atomic clock regulates the WWVB transmitter.
