Radio Controlled Clocks

Published on 2004-07-06 by Mark VandeWettering

The NIST has a very nice history of radio controlled clocks which was written by Michael A. Lombardi. The National Institute of Standards and Technology runs the WWVB time service in Boulder, Colorado which broadcasts at 60khz, and allows my Skyscan Atomic clock to maintain accurate time (or would, if my office wasn’t essentially a Faraday cage). Some nifty bits of history.
