My big La Crosse RC wall clock has stayed in sync, but my small Oregon
Scientific RC clock has sometimes been off by as much as a second. I think
the wall clock has a better uninterrupted signal, and the other one has to
compete with my computer and radio noise. Still, my forefathers worried
about reading the sundial on a cloudy day. I get snippy about a discrepancy
of a second. Hmmm.

Watch the La Crosse wall clock on days when they go to daylight time and
off daylight time. They have a chip hardware bug that's sort of unique.

They'll reset back to the old time at the end of that UTC day, eg. in the
fall at 00:00 UTC at the start of the next day, they'll leap forward one
hour. So you get 3 time changes twice a year.

It's from having to remember the daylight bit until local time reaches 2am
but not act on it; they got the logic wrong on turning off remembering in the
next day.
