[Elecraft] One more re:Atomic Clocks

[Fred Jensen]

Well ... maybe ...  but majorities don't always determine the truth (we
all probably knew that ;-).  I volunteer at the local blood center where
there are four atomic clocks -- two Seiko, and two other different ones
I've never heard of.  They are all different, all the time, sometimes by
as much as 10 seconds.  The purpose originally was to synchronize the
times recorded during a blood donation (required by the FDA which
regulates blood centers). I suggested only one clock in the place. 
They're thinking about it.
