World Clock Frequency
Brian E. Simms
I have just purchased a shortwave radio and was wondering if someone could
tell me the frequency for picking up the world clock., or refer me to an
appropriate website. I used to have a small shortwave radio years ago and
could pick it up on that..
I thankyou all in advance for your help.
Thanx,
Brian Simms--

I see you're in New Zealand. You might try:
http://www.nsc.gov.au/InfoServ/Ileaflet/il15.htm
for information on VNG from Australia, but if that's what you were
listening to years ago, the transmitter site and most of the frequencies
have changed. (I think Lyndhurst is a BFI transfer station now!)
The 16.0 MHz signal was audible here (California, USA) yesterday
at least.
Good listening

giving the same time?
Don't people have clocks and watches in their houses anyway?
Whats the need for hundreds of different time clocks on the radio?
Its pretty boring to listen to them.

Radio is used for things other than "pleasure" and to waste time.
(waist for some of you?)
There are scientific and engineering reasons for time signals available
on a wide range of frequencies, making this available 24 hours a day as
propagation changes.
If it's "pretty boring to listen to them" I suggest that you need to GET
A LIFE!

I "set" the frequency of my Kenwood TS440 with WWV and musicians
can tune their pianos with the tones!

Music = Science = Math = Fun! Radio fits in there!

How do you set these clocks? By settings its time according to
some other clock. Time-signals, controlled by highly precise
Caesium-clocks provide the official reference time for setting
other clocks.
> Whats the need for hundreds of different time clocks on the radio?
One likes to cover the whole world with time signals.
> Its pretty boring to listen to them.
Your not expected to listen to them. One can use the signal to
automatically control clocks.

Hundreds? I can hear WWV, CHU, and perhaps a couple of others for a
total of about 6 frequencies. Deutsche Welle has 10x that number!

Yes, and the time clocks even produce more interesting programming ...

The purpose is so that you can set your clocks and watches to the correct
time.
