[time-nuts] WWVB Clock didn't change...

2009-11-01 Thread Burt I. Weiner
It's not necessarily a sign of a problem. In many WWVB clocks this is intentional. I know of one radio station that had one controlling an automation system and it did change, 3 hours early! The station was in CA and it changed at 9 PM the night before (the eve of the great change). I have

It depends on where you live. If your latitude is 30 deg or greater it's fantastic. But I concede in the tropics it's not that useful. It's divided us here in Australia because we cover such a large range of latitudes. I'd presume it's the same in the US. At -43 deg S I wouldn't be without it - mak

I have two inexpensive WWVB clocks and one updated correctly, the other didn't. Since they are identical models, I have to assume that one of them just missed the transmission. As for moving to AZ, I like that idea. I'm next door in NM and I never have liked the idea of DST. Joe KA5ZEC On Sun, N

My WWV clock at home and the master clock at the TV station that I am engineer for did not update to EST from EDT. Did anyone else see their WWV clock not change time for DST? Thanks 73 Glenn WB4UIV ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com

Said, Interesting thought. I had not considered the TBolt to be a source of a problem. I also have two HP 58517A 8 way splitters, one that gets it's DC for the antenna through an SMB connector and one that gets it's DC from port 1. They seem to work fine with the TBolt. I also have a Symmetrico
