1 edit | Re: Hey, my watch is wrong! 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

Burlington, CT | Like every watch and clock that sets itself using the time signals. Might PO a few people. The time-signal sychronized clocks use the 60 kHz WWVB signals, as a rule. These will not be affected by BPL.
