Hi:
Mike, you should have no problem receiving the WWVB signal in Junction City. The transmitter is near Ft. Collins, CO, maybe 300 miles from you.
Take a look at this website:

The modulation is not FM, it is pulse width modulated.
Your watch should listen for the signal between 12 midnight and 6 am. If you are not resetting correctly, I suggest something may be wrong with the watch or there may be a setting on it that turns the receiver on or off. Also, you might try hanging the watch in a west facing window at night.
I am in Yuma, AZ and have 3 clocks in the motorhome. They all receive the signal with no problem. While we were traveling the East Coast last summer/fall, the clocks all received the signal while we were in Ontario, Canada and in Maine.
