Huh? My WWVB clock informs me that today is "7-11 SU".
The hh:mm:ss is accurate -- just the date is wrong.

Can anyone with another WWVB clock confirm either proper
or improper operation in the time signal(s)


Batteries!! Several of you suggested *that*.
Well, DOOH! It never occurred to me!! HI!HI!
After all, it was an Xmas present from my wife -- Xmas of
2001, IIRC. The batteries are/were the original "Pacific
Rim" AAA's that came in the package...
That probably was it. I just changed the batteries -- I'll
see if it locks up and sync's up with WWVB overnight.

I guess I was just waiting for one of the LCD segments to go dim
to tell me the batteries needed changing. I guess _I_ was dim.

Silly me for thinking NIST had a problem!

tnx for the replies,
Jonesy
