tower icon will not appear but reception will still be attempted the next hour.
WWVB reception occurs daily at 12:00 am and 06:00 am. If the reception is not successful at
12:00 am, then the next reception takes place the next hour and so on until 06:00am, or until the

take place the next day at 12:00 am.
The other times WWVB reception takes place are upon setup and after manual time set exiting
mode. Reception is generally not possible during daylight hours due to the interference of the sun.
