Some time ago, the topic of short-wave radios for timing purposes came thru this group.
If all you want is a WWV-synchronized clock, you can get them for $15 or $20 at places like Costco and Sam's club. They come with built-in thermometers and moon phase indicators. I have four of these clocks in my house and I never have to set them manually--a feature that I think I fully appreciate only on the daylight-savings-time transition days. :-) If you want a highly portable WWV-synchronized clock, get a Casio Waveceptor wristwatch. Cost: $39.95. I've had one for about 6 months now and I love it. I always hated having to try to set my wristwatch "exactly" to the aural WWV radio signals; now I don't have to. :-) If you want to know more, look here: http://www.gadgets4sure.com/product.asp?ProductID=2178&DepartmentID=220 Chris
