2017-06-24 WWVB, Phase  Modulation and LaCrosse Clock

From FB comment to Bill Sherman’s atomic clock’s damaged LCD 

At our computer club one of our members talked about this.  Over 3 years ago NIST added phase modulation to WWVB.  Only one of the makers of ‘atomic clocks’ has just come out with a clock that demodulates this phase modulation.  LaCrosse has a wall clock, and he showed us the one he bought.  It’s a hundred times more sensitive than the older clocks, so it will receive the signal even when the clock is on an inside wall.  His house has the attic insulation with a layer of aluminum foil, and his other clocks won’t pick up the signal unless they are on an exterior wall.  But this new clock works anywhere.
