I use a Heathkit GC-1000 which I built many years ago, which scans WWV on 5, 10, and 15 MHz, and locks on and synch's to the best signal. I use an external antenna for best results. Some local folks found something similar several months ago at one of our local "warehouse" stores (Sam's, Costo, etc.). While I was in Germany a few years ago, the "atomic watches" were very popular, and I thought they were a pretty interesting idea! Wasn't sure if they would work here in the States, so I didn't get one. They finally showed up here couple years ago. I've seen them advertised in some magazines, but don't have any more info on them right now. > Also, do any of you people from around the world have clock software in your > computer that checks the atomic clock time off the internet at a user > defined interval?

You can try a free program called "Dimension 4", which you can download at http://www.thinkman.com/dimension4/index.html No special hardware needed, just a dial up connection!
