I know it doesn't *stop* at the borders, what i meant was that at about that distance from the transmiter the signal is not so strong and clean as to allow a simple receiver, like a watch to pick it up. What i said was that it is problematic for *simple receivers* to pick the signal. I have never seen any such clocks for sale here, but have many times considered building a receiver just to check out how good the signal is. Steve Sousa
