Jayson, I chuckle because WWV is my favorite radio station also.
Why not tune it in on a good day and record the audio? Then you can digitize it on the computer and have a .WAV file which you can play any time. Trouble is, if you have recorded the announcements, you won't have the correct time. But it might be fun to write a program that generates the correct figures. After all, NIST must have that software - perhaps you can ask them to share it.

Likely you'd use one of the drum machines. Basically I'm saying yu can treat it as music and then use whatever music composition system you've got on Windows On Fri, Jan 3, 2014 at 7:38 AM, Jayson Smith <jayb...@bluegrasspals.com>wrote: > Hello, > > Brand new to this list.
