Re: REFUSE IT !!!

<<It is a ground based signal, or is it sent to a satellite overhead?>>

Ground based, a 60 kHz VLF radio time signal transmitted by NIST from
station WWVB near the US atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. Signals at
this extremely low frequency can travel tremendous distances.

For comparison, an ordinary AM radio starts at about 550 kHz, and an
ordinary FM radio starts at about 88 mHz.
