WWVB time reception takes place from 12:00 am through 6:00 am each day (attempts WWVB
reception every full hour within this time frame). When the time signal is received for example at
1:00 am, the atomic clock will not attempt to receive the WWVB signal for the remaining hours
until 6:00 am. Therefore, the next signal attempt will take place between 12:00 am and 6:00 am
the next day. 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.
