Default Q: Rebroadcast WWV?

wrote:
Consider the following:
1) I have a lot of clocks which can set themselves automatically based
on the WWV time signal - cf.
http://tf.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwv.html
2) Where I live this WWV signal is very weak to non-existant.
3) I have multiple computers connected to the internet through an
always-on Cable Model connection (Windows and Linux)
4) I have those computers stay synchronized with NTP time servers

The thought occured to me that I could solve my problems with my
out-of-sync WWV clocks in my house if I were able somehow to
rebroadcast (at low power) the WWV time signal, controlled by one of my
NTP-synced computers.

Has anybody done such a thing? Do radios exist for transmitting the WWV
signal?

Where can I find the specs on the format of the WWV signal? What I
found initially is that it is in the 60Hz range.

My purpose is not to become some WWV station; I just want my clocks to
stay synched!

Thanks - Steven


This is a late followup, but I do believe that this would be legal under
"Part 15". See http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/part15.html
