Re: Hey, my watch is wrong!

said by W1RFI See Profile :

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.

alphapointe already said this, and I agreed I was incorrect.

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:

You are correct, Sir!

No coffee in the morning causes confusion in me.

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