[R-390] WWV Time

[george stringe]

With all due respects guys, and I appreciate your input but this really 
was not an exercise in how to best measure frequency.  Even if I am only 
40 miles from the WWV transmitter, I realize it is not perfect, it was 
just an exercise for all those who have professed a love for the slide 
rule....and as such, the responses are slim so far ;-)  If I am 5 Hz off 
in 2.5 million, my calculator says that is .000002 percent.  That can't 
be correct can it?
