Atomic clock wrong time?

this afternoon my radio controlled time signal clock reset its self by knocking the time back the time at the moment is showing 5.35 the actual time is 19.35 very strange.

Totally misleading thread title.

The atomic clock in Teddington isn’t and was never wrong. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the time determined by the atomic clock and that stated via radio waves.

Does it need a new battery? My watch shows a discrepancy between analogue and digital as the battery is on the way out.

All ways thought these things were supposed get the correct time from the atomic clock if they don't where do they get the reference time from.

Try an internet search including the model of clock and the problem.

I thought it was from the Anthorn Radio Station in Cumbria, it used to be the old Rugby radio station that broadcast the signal years back but I think they relocated, I could be getting muddled up.

It could just be losing signal.

I had one in a classroom not so long ago. It spent all its time whirring and resetting as it picked up and dropped the radio signal.

I binned mine and bought a £2 one from IKEA. Worked fine:)

Try putting it somewhere with really good reception, maybe a windowsill and leave it overnight.

Are you sure you haven't just traveled back in time?

What year do you think this is?

It's the Russians
