In commemoration of its 50th anniversary of broadcasting from Fort Collins, Colorado, this paper provides a history of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) radio station WWVB. The narrative describes the evolution of the station, from its origins as a source of standard frequency, to its current role as the source of time-of-day synchronization for many millions of radio controlled clocks.
为纪念从科罗拉多州柯林斯堡开播50周年,本文介绍了美国国家标准与技术研究院(NIST)的WWVB广播电台的历史。叙述内容描述了该电台的发展历程,从其作为标准频率源的起源,到如今作为数百万个无线电控制时钟的时间同步源的角色。
