[Elecraft] OT: WWV-driven station clock that displays zulu time

[Doug Person]

My $19 "SkyScan Atomic Clock" is about as accurate as my ears can tell 
when compared to WWV.  It, too, is listening to WWV and decoding the 
transmission.  I think the "Accurate Clock" market is pretty saturated 
these days.
