[Elecraft] LaCrosse Tehcnology UTC Clocks, again.

[k3hx at juno.com]

My experience is that those of the same model number stay in synch.  

Had a pair of older LaCrosse clocks of identical model number which kept time in synch with each other for years until the POS Ray-O-Vac batteries leaked and messed up things inside both of them.  

Now have the two latest purchases running and they have been in synch since
they got the signal from WWVB.  A third one of a different model number (the model
that does not "do" UTC also got the synch signal but is about .5 seconds off.

Curious.

For those of you interested in horology (not the study of streetwalkers, despite
the name) Scientific American has issued a magazine-style publication which goes
into some of the more esoteric aspects.  A decent introduction.  If you are of 
"a certain age" listening to the Chambers Brothers' "Time has Come Today" whilst
reading the SA work is satisfying, relatively speaking.

Now back to getting the mercury-ion thing cooking.......(HI!)

72,

Tim

And while you take a look at it, be prepared to go crosseyed wondering why the seconds on 
the GMT clock do not match the seconds on the local time clock more than 30% of the time, 
even though both clocks show they are receiving WWVB signals.
