I agree with Don on the interference. We have a very high noise floor
here in Toronto as well as being on the fringe, and an older watch in
the same window as my two Citizens frequently comes up with a fantastic
date and time - possibly due to lack of data redundancy are error-checking.

It still keeps accurate, occasionally it doesn’t sync, though I think that can
be chalked up to signal propagation.
It’s possible the problem is interference EMF, RF etc. Try moving it to
another place in the room and/or another room.

This is kind computer related but maybe more ham radio related
but I figure if anywhere, here is the place to find an answer.
I have a SkyScan ATOMIC CLOCK.
It is supposed to get its time from WWVB.
The antenna icon that is supposed to mean it is receiving
WWVB is on.
Your probably wondering why I keep saying "supposed to".
The clock is always wrong. Slow by about 2 minutes.
Is there a known problem with WWVB?
