Re: OT: Changes at WWV, WWVB

Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT
The battery powered Oregon Scientific clock I tried to sync for about 10
minutes at a half-dozen different times each day.  The main reason
appeared to be saving battery power by turning the receiver off.

Mine had an addendum that said they added a check at noon.  If the clock
was many hours off, the "noon" check would happen at night and set the
clock.
