The WWVB time signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away from Boulder Colorado.
However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during
daylight hours. The Radio-controlled display will search for a signal every night when
reception is best.

Allow up to 5 nights for the change from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time and vice-
versa to occur, depending on your location and atmospheric conditions.
