If you're going to use WWV to set your time devices, and if you don't have
access to any of its short wave frequencies, I think the best way to do it
is to use the phone number for WWV which is:
303-499-7111.
You'll still have to do the math from coordinated universal time to your own
time zone, but that's how I do it and I haven't encountered any problems.

Hi List:
The other day I was listening to WA0TDA's station via the remoteham RCFORB
client software, and it was tuned to the WWV time signal(think that it was
10MHz),so I thought that it would be a good oppurtunity to set my watch
correctly(I know that they're differing opinionsabout "beeps", but I can't
read Braille, and try to be discreet about checking time in public).
Anyway, I set the watch only to later discover that I neglected to subtract
4 hours for UTC difference.
My question is when is the exact moment to set time per WWV. Is it at
the first time that you hear the beep after the voice announcement?This may
seem naive,but there's a lot of ticking sounds, and I Just wanted to be
sure that I'm using the correct "noise" the next time I used WWV for this
purpose.
Secondly, I am going to be placing some adhesive orientation "bump-dots" on
my keyboard(plastic keys). What is the best stuff/method to use on the keys
to insure that these bumps adhere for as long as possible?
Thank you,
David S. Pearson
