Mr. Wilson:

*Europe* is not composed of Germany and the United Kingdom.
As far as i know those are the only countries were such devices are
common, because they are the only ones with time-code radio
transmiters.
With simple receivers, Dcf77 can probably be usefull up to the
France/Spain border. My thoughts only, from europe...  :-)
