| Hey, my watch is wrong! "...This won't address problems faced by shortwave listeners and users of time signal stations..."
Like every watch and clock that sets itself using the time signals. Might PO a few people.

1 edit | Atomic watches and clocks set their time via WWVB, a 60khz signal. The news item is referring to the AM stations in the shortwave bands, like WWV at 2.5, 5, 10, 15, and 20MHz.
This will not affect atomic clocks/watches at all.
EDIT:
Here is WWV's web site:
»tf.nist.gov/stations/wwv.html

Resistance is NOT futile...It's voltage divided by current. |
