MODEL 80083 

Atomic Clock with Moving Dots of Seconds

 

 

 

 
 

The SkyScan ATOMIC Clock 

 
With the SkyScan Atomic Clock, you have the most accurate timepiece within the 
continent It can receive the time signal transmitted by the National Institute of Standards 
and Technology (NIST), which is regulated by 3 atomic clocks and deviates less than 1 
second within 3,000 years. The NIST broadcasts the time signal (WMIB, 60kHz) 
continuously from Fort Collins, Colorado. This signal can be received anywhere in the 
continental USA that long wave (AM) radio reception is possible with a portable radio. It 
is expected that the signal can cover a distance of over 2,000 miles from the transmitter. 
Therefore, your clock will receive the signal within the broadcast range anywhere an AM 
signal can be received; generally the signal cannot be picked up in massive metal and 
concrete structures unless near a window. In addition, some environmental effects (see 
next page) may affect the transmitting distance.
