(by the way, you can now delete the 'Waiting for K3' from your
signature...).

We are unfortunate in Europe that after MSF stopped broadcasting time
standards on HF (apart from 60kHz) in not having a reliable standard to
check against. WWV (always recommended by Elecraft) is normally inaudible
here. The only available one is RWM on 9998kHz (also on 14996) and is what I
originally used to calibrate my K2 against. But I can't even hear that at
the moment...

For a rough check, most of the broadcast stations at 7MHz are fairly
accurate and on the 5kHz intervals. I just checked and the one on 7200 is
pretty spot on as far as I am concerned.
