I'm in Chicago area and only 3 of my 7 clocks set. They need more power or a
better antenna system. My friends at work also had problems with lack of signal. "Joe Analssandrini" wrote in message oups.com... On Mar 11, 6:58 pm, Radio Guy wrote: Did the 60 khz Ft. Collins time signal transmitter send out the correct time signals this morning? I've got 3 different radio-controlled clocks (atomix I think) and none of them had the right time this morning. Hello All. I have fifteen of these clocks. Two of them (both LaCrosse digital models) are set to GMT and do not change when DST is incorporated. Of the other thirteen (three analog models), all but two showed the correct time this morning. One which did not catch the signal was one of my analog clocks. I "forced" it to hunt for the signal around 10:30 AM EDT and, after finding it, did set itself correctly. However, tonight, at approximately 8:30 PM EDT, two of my analog models went a bit "haywire" and reset themselves to Standard Time. We shall see if they correct themselves later tonight. This has happened on several occasions previously and I do not understand why. All of the batteries in my clocks are fresh. The last digital clock which did not show the correct time this morning still, as of 11:30 PM EDT, had not corrected the time, so I finally did so manually. (This particular clock had never had this problem previously.) I live in New Jersey. I wish that a second transmitter were incorporated somewhat closer to the eastern part of the country as the signal from Ft. Collins is not completely reliable here. Especially now, with the low sunspot count, one would think that the signal on 60 kHz would travel farther and adjust the clocks properly. Sadly, as evidenced by all writing here, this is not the case. Best, Joe |

It just depends. This year my clocks reset the same day. Last year, one
reset right away and the other took over a week. Dee, N8UZE "Only Fair" wrote in message ... I'm in Chicago area and only 3 of my 7 clocks set. They need more power or a better antenna system.

Is your the Casio G-Shock Solar Atomic? I leave mine out on the back porch at night so it will get some recharging sunlight if I sleep in, also gets a more reliable signal. it's a casio waveceptor...works fine....generally...had it about 7 years... |
