said by W1RFI :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. Ed Hare, ARRL alphapointe already said this, and I agreed I was incorrect. -- That Snows the Goat & Craig's Crafts |

| reply to alphapointe said by alphapointe :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 You are correct, Sir!
