Also, there are a number of internet time programs that reference the time standard
in Boulder (such as http://www.atomtime.com). It seems to have less than a half
second error, as judged just by eyeballing it while listening to WWV. This is good
enough for anything I will do (such as running a real time display using SatSpy).

If you want to hear the signal, perhaps an old used shortwave might be the
cheapest way to go.
