[time-nuts] WWVB \/=\/ Wi-Fi

[Brooke Clarke]

Hi:

My La Crosse UltrAtomic Clock was replaced by the factory because of erratic behavior.  The replacement clock ended up 
displaying 6:00 most of the time and occasionally spinning hands and stopping at the wrong time.

The hour hand came loose, hence the 6 o'clock reading.  But the minute hand was still frozen at straight up except when 
spinning.

A friend got a La Crosse S841047 Wireless Forecast Station that synchronizes to WWVB and it had a problem locking to the 
signal.
It turns out this problem was caused by Wi-Fi signals.  When moved to a location removed from Wi-Fi (routers and 
laptops/phones) it worked.
