You can probably buy them from Germany. Try www.conrad.com and search for DCF77 They also have a board, that you can interface yourself. >> The coverage of DCF77 is specified to 2000km from Mainflingen, near >> Frankfurt in Germany. >> >> That means it covers most , if not all of Europe. >> Narvik, Norway is 2100km. >> Reykjavik, Iceland is 2300km >> Lisabon, Portugal is 2000km >> Crete is 2100km >> Moscow is 2300km > >What i refered to in my post was that it is problematic for *simple >receivers* to pick the signal. But most of these are SIMPLE receivers. 1 IC, 2 77.5kHz crystals and a small ferrite rod, about 8mm dia and 50mm long. For the watches, I don't know. I talked to a watchmaker in TromsοΏ½, and even there they could receive the signal, but not good enough to be consistent, at least not for watches.
