Default atomic clock audio stream?

David,

Thanks for the reply. I know I can hear this by phone or on a ham set.

My grandfather was K9HKE, and when I was growing up he often just had
this going as background noise. I was thinking about him and thought I
would like to just have it as background noise again but I do not have
my ham license.

That's why I thought a stream of it would be nice.

Is there a working stream of the atomic clock available? Only one I
could find from the USNO does not work and the URL does not resolve.

If there is not, any idea what I could do to capture the audio and
stream it?

Thanks,
Chris
The audio portions of the WWV and WWVH broadcasts can also be heard by
telephone. The time announcements are normally delayed by less than 30
ms when using land lines from within the continental United States,
and the stability (delay variation) is generally 1 ms. When mobile
phones are used, the delays are often more than 100 ms due to the
multiple access methods used to share cell channels. In rare instances
when the telephone connection is made by satellite, the time is
delayed by 250 to 500 ms.

To hear these broadcasts, dial (303) 499-7111 for WWV (Colorado), and
(808) 335-4363 for WWVH (Hawaii). Callers are disconnected after 2
minutes. These are not toll-free numbers; callers outside the local
calling area are charged for the call at regular long-distance rates.

or

2.5, 5 10, 15 and 20 megaHertz...



The atomic clocks you buy receive their signal from WWV on 60 Khz. That
is a data signal or as you call it a stream.

They do not receive the signal from any other WWV source.

Think again, my battery operated "atomic clock" has a built in antenna
and gets its update via shortwave!
