When I was an intern (student trainee during college vacations) at the Naval Research Laboratory in 1955 I was treated to a tour of the *old* WWV installation in Beltsville, MD before it moved to Fort Collins. A fascinating place. Open-wire feed lines, RF all over the place! As an OT aside - I just noticed today that the time on my Verizon cell-phone (supposedly slaved to GPS time) is two whole minutes ahead of WWV and Naval Observatory time services checked both by internet connection and OTA. Accurate time is needed for the RTC In my K2 and for certain digital modes. Anyone know why? "Customer Service" at Verizon doesn't have a clue. 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 >From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
