Like all of you I have a few wwvb clocks that work pretty well here in Boston. Certainly have written enough wwvb stuff and created various wwvb projects that I will have to get back into it again. I did look at the cron-verter. Have to say it has a lot of nice features. Unfortunately it hasn't been available for a year or so. (Getting lazy) The good news is the AM modulation of wwb is very easy to create. Regards Paul WB8TSL
