Atomic clocks have antennas that are directional and reception may be improved by turning the antenna to increase signal strength. Place the radio controlled clock along a wall or near a window that faces towards Fort Collins. Locate atomic wall clocks at least 4-8 feet away from computer monitors.
Q. Is short wave AM or FM?
Shortwave (SW) radio operates on the frequencies between the AM and FM bands. Shortwave has the unique characteristic of traveling very long distances making it a powerful medium to reach the masses from even one transmitter.

Q. Is WWV still broadcasting?
In the ’70s, the WWV audio signal was made available by telephone at (303) 499-7111, and this service has continued to the present day.”
Q. Will WWV be shut down?
WWV radio station in Fort Collins, Colorado, is slated to shut down in its 100th year because of budget cuts.
Q. Where is the world’s most accurate clock?
The world’s most precise clock is found in the United States. The clock was built by the National Institute of Standard and Technology together with the University of Colorado, Boulder. The clock is so precise no second is lost over the entire age of the Universe.
Q. What is the most accurate atomic clock?
An all-optical atomic clock, recently demonstrated by researchers at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST; Gaithersburg, MD), produces about 1 quadrillion “ticks” per second and promises to be as much as 1000 times more accurate than the world’s current standard in time measurement-cesium-based …
Q. Who keeps official world time?
UTC(NIST) is the coordinated universal time scale maintained at NIST. The UTC(NIST) time scale comprises an ensemble of cesium beam and hydrogen maser atomic clocks, which are regularly calibrated by the NIST primary frequency standard. The number of clocks in the time scale varies, but is typically around ten.
