Don't you have a radio station that send a signal to a clock.
About a year or so we are using radiocontrolled clocks. You never have to
worry about the real
time.
There are also a few radiostations in the shortwave band that singnals time
pulses every hour
I thought on 10.000 and 15.000 Mhz

You can use whatever method you want, but the local telephone seems to be the
most common and easiest. Not everybody has a shortwave band available...I
know I don't. But Bob does and I have compared his time hacks to my watch
many times that was set from the phone company and confirmed it accuracies at
least for my local area. If I remember right during my radio days in the
military, WWV gives time hacks on frequencies that are in increments of
2,500MhZ. I believe recall using the following freqs at one time or another
then: 2500, 5000, 10000, 15000, 20000 and 25000 mhz. I don't know if it goes
any higher or not and I don't think it goes lower?
