Hi Bob, I was aiming the previous message to people in Europe, but yes, I guess you are right about it. The only solution right now (that I know off) for people in the US, is to use a GPS receiver ... they allow to sync the clocks. But the type of sensors used in these devices require a direct 'visible' sky, as the signal is bouncing from satellites, this makes it sometimes very difficult to find a spot where to hide the receiver box, indoors is almost impossible, the kitchen window might work for you ... although I know certain materials don't allow the signal to pass, but it does work fine in my car behind the front-window. Finally the GPS receiver systems are by nature more/very expensive compared to ordinary radio-receiver-clocks. By the way, thanks to the US, we have GPS over here in Europe too, Europe is now only 'thinking' about building an own fleed of GPS-satellites to be independent of the US ... Regards, Werner
