BUT: As I understand the explanation given by the National Bureau of
Standards, there is more at Boulder than JUST WWV. This is the home
of the Cesium Atom clock that controls time for us, both UTC and
through some outstanding equipments in the station, local times
through the now infamous,Atomic Clock, that is widely advertised
and in use both wearable and wall mounted. I have 3 of them one set
to UTC and it is not effected by the DST time change but the others
are 12 hour format and reset themselves with the Atomic Clock signal
this morning. Fascinating to watch!!!

Wait! WWV and WWVB transmit UTC time codes. There is absolutely no
way for either station to 'know' in which time zone your atomic clock
is located. So .... How could they correct time for DST???
Enlighten me please
