       Even on the Windom, late nights, after midnight, I'll tune down to 60kHz and check WWVB's signal strength. On good night, I get it at S+30/9. Then, there are nights where it's just barely above the S7 - S9 noise levels. That Atomic Clock, a fairly cheap Chinese ceiling project clock that I have, switched to DST before midnight this time for the Spring Ahead +1hr. (Interesting.) Hey, I actually don't mind my tax $$$$ paying for this. Better than what our tax $$$$ usually goes for, but I'll digress, this time.
A war is never really over. When you believe that it is, all that has been accomplished is the planting of the seeds for the next, eventual, conflict.

If you listen to WWV at 8 minutes past the hour you will receive a voice announcement with the WWVB update.
