Only one problem that I can see. People who don't know where they are
or what time of day it is are probably not interested paying money to
find out.

Seems to me the answer may be simpler than trying to use VLF
transmissions for U.S. or U.K. atomic clocks. I think that technology
is almost "old hat" these days.
I have a "golf" watch that gives me yardages on just about any golf
course in the world, and it is all coordinated by GPS satellites. It
starts operating in just a few seconds from the time you turn it
on--incredibly faster than the first GPS unit I owned. The time
function is instantaneous, and I assume that comes from the GPS
satellites as well. So, couldn’t something along this line be
incorporated in a ham rig? Heck! It could even probably give you
your current grid square! Maybe this sound like it could be "pricey",
but I suspect the electronic "guts" of a GPS unit are becoming pretty
inexpensive to create. The incredible stuff I'm getting out of China
these days, and for "nickels and dimes", makes me think this is
doable, and at a reasonable price!
