[R-390] More on WWVB and Automatic Clocks

Folks,

Patience is the key:  The MFJ radio controlled clock synchronized 
overnight (What is galling is that my wife's "Be more patient!  Be more 
patient!" was the right answer again...).

By the way, it synchronized in the basement, just above and behind my 
computer's monitor.  This area (in an 80-year-old house) is a rat's nest 
of wires, dead and alive, with big chunks of metal nearby (A rack-mount 
cabinet for my R-388 and R-390A).  Sounds like the perfect place for 
synchronization to fail, but there is the antenna symbol on the LCD display.

For old time's sake, though, I think that I'll keep my Pennwood 
Numechron in it place of honor...
