I know my watch who's called Rose sometimes says uk time updated when I
press the button and sometimes she says uk time not updated, wonder if its
because there's been no new signals since she last sorted herself out.

>> Hi all,
>>
>> Some of you will have the RNIB's atomic clock. Ours has served us well

>> over-surprised when it didn't change today and figured that probably the
>> battery strength needed to be greater to acquire the atomic signal than
>> even
>> to use speech ... so we changed batteries - and waited! No, she didn't
>> change ... and hadn't when we left our home 20 minutes later!
>>
>> Thankfully, when we arrived home, we found that Freda (for that's her
>> name)
>> had put herself right - at last!
>>
>> We're a bit puzzled though at the time this took, since we remember, when
>> she was new, that it didn't take long for her to acquire the correct
>> information.
>>
>> Anyone any theories as to why it should take so long to acquire the
>> signal?
>> I know this used to be transmitted from Rugby but that this changed a few
>> years back. Is it just because the signal is further away from us now
>> that
>> it takes so long, or is it only transmitted at certain times in a day?
>> Where does it come from now?
>>
>> I'm just curious so would appreciate any answers that anyone can give.
>>
>> (Incidentally, she's called Freda because our friend first introduced us
>> to
>> the atomic clock with his before they became available for VI's; and he
>> affectionately called his Fritz!)
>>
>> Now, less of this waffle and over to you ...
>>
>> Thanks.
