ALL CLOCKS AND WATCHES BELOW ARE RADIO CONTROLLED
Precise time and frequency information is needed by electric power companies, radio and television stations, telephone companies, air traffic control systems, participants in space exploration, computer networks, scientists monitoring data of all kinds, and navigators of ships and planes. These users need to compare their own timing equipment to a reliable, internationally recognized standard. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), formerly the National Bureau of Standards, provides this standard for most users in the United States.
WWV, the radio station which broadcasts time and frequency services, is located in Fort Collins, CO. Fort Collins is about 60 miles north of Denver. NIST began broadcasting time and frequency information from radio station WWV in 1923. Since then, NIST has expanded its time and frequency services to meet the needs of a growing number of users. NIST time and frequency services are convenient, accurate, and easy to use. They contribute greatly to the nation's space and defense programs, to manufacturers, and to transportation and communications. In addition, NIST services are widely used by the general public.
