"Atomic" clock for UTC/GMT?

One was a small unit (2-inch display) and the other was a large analog wall clock. Both of them work great, even though one is on an interior wall in the basement. I'm truly amazed that they can hear WWV and yet the cost was under $20. Likely because they aren't "WWV-synced". While in the past there were some clocks that got the time in digital format from WWV, the more recent wave of "atomic clocks" receive WWVB at 60KHz. The low frequency allows for strong propagation throughout much of the day, and penetration where higher frequencies might get shielded out. Michael VE2BVW |
