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:

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

You are correct, Sir!

No coffee in the morning causes confusion in me.
