2. Radio clock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_clock

   A radio clock or radio-controlled clock (RCC), and often colloquially (and incorrectly [1]) referred to as an " atomic clock ", is a type of quartz clock or watch that is automatically synchronized to a time code transmitted by a radio transmitter connected to a time standard such as an atomic clock. Such a clock may be synchronized to the time ...

3. WWVB - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWVB

   Radio-controlled clocks can then apply time zone and daylight saving time offsets as needed to display local time. The time used in the broadcast is set by the NIST Time Scale, known as UTC(NIST). This time scale is the calculated average time of an ensemble of master clocks, themselves calibrated by the NIST-F1 and NIST-F2 cesium fountain ...

4. DCF77 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCF77

   In theory, a DCF77 controlled external clock should be able to synchronize to within one half of the period of the transmitted 77.5 kHz carrier frequency of the DCF77 signal, or within ± 6.452 × 10 −6 s or ± 6.452 microseconds. Reception Consumer grade radio clock movement with the DCF77 receiver (right) in the clock.

5. Time signal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_signal

   Time signal. A time signal is a visible, audible, mechanical, or electronic signal used as a reference to determine the time of day . Church bells or voices announcing hours of prayer gave way to automatically operated chimes on public clocks; however, audible signals (even signal guns) have limited range. Busy sea ports used a visual signal ...

   Radio-controlled clock: NIST list of receivers; AC-100-WWVB Time Receiver; AC-500-MSF Time Receiver; ClockWatch Radio Sync; F6CTE's CLOCK; WWV: 2.5, 5, 10, 15, and 20 MHz AM Voice with modified IRIG-Hformat time code on 100 Hz sub-carrier (CCIR code) HF radio and antenna (plus software if automatic updating of computer time is desired)

7. Time from NPL (MSF) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_from_NPL_(MSF)

   The Time from NPL is a radio signal broadcast from the Anthorn Radio Station near Anthorn, Cumbria, which serves as the United Kingdom's national time reference. [1] The time signal is derived from three atomic clocks installed at the transmitter site, and is based on time standards maintained by the UK's National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in ...
