Not an issue. When the 'puter clock here is noticeably off time vs.
WWV I simply ping NIST and let them reset it. My tax dollars at work.
YMMV.

KEWL!

Of course there are also clocks an watches that "listen" to WWVB
and reset themselves as needed.

But my Tymeter grinds on, flipping the drums.

It works! The battery-operated clock above it in the pictures (you
saw my shack pix, I presume) is the backup and local timekeeper.
The Tymeter just keeps doing its job. Simple technology - watta
concept.

Every so often I tune in WWV on the '342 just for a check. Usually
the Tymeter is dead on.

Did I ever show ya the pix of my trip to Boulder NIST and Fort
Collins?
A few years back - got shots of the then-standard atomic clocks and
the transmitter site. Plus me standing by the transmitter site sign.
