[R-390] WWV shut down. Alternate calibration methods

[Bill Guyger]

Hi All

I think this is just a suggestion to be considered. FWIW I know that all the radio stations I work for and all that I am aware of and the TV guys use clocks that are GPS trained. The old clock system we use to have did have  A 5.00 MHz. and 10.00 MHz. WWV receiver built in and had to have a long wire antenna. Now all the antenna that the clock unit has looks like a fat upside down ice cream cone.
