Your reply caused me to pull-out the clock’s actual user manual.


It’s capable of being manually set for 12x time zones. (as it’s only a 12-hour clock; the “other 12” time zones are unnecessary)


That said, it’s “sync’d” from WWVB and WWVBH … so the further you are from Colorado or Hawaii, the weaker the sync signal …


… but the Low Frequency 60 kHz signal (5k meters) has some long legs.
