Hi Kevin and others,

I am just guessing, but I think the atomic clocks have a ferrite rod antenna
in them tuned to 60khz.  I'm not sure how the atomic watches work though.  I
think that your vcr gets its time signal off modern tv transmitters that
send digital info along with their normal analog signal.

What I can't figure out is how these little devices like atomic clocks and
my Zenith VCR can receive WWVB so darned well and I can't with a hundred or
more feet of wire outside.  <GRIN>

73 to all.
