[R-390] WWVB and Automatic Clocks

Wed, 25 Dec 2002 15:09:19 -0600

Second that, Don. I'm also out in the wilds of central Oklahoma, had to
finally put the antenna on mine over on the window sill to make it work. For
those with a fulltime internet connection, you might also check out a slick
little freeware Windows taskbar clock program called TclockEX (see
http://users.iafrica.com/d/da/dalen/ ) which I now use on both WinXP
machines and my W2000Pro laptop. It works like a champ with no grief or
conflicts.
