Is it possible to decode that signal by any very
simple "on-my-shelf gear", as for instance a PC
sound card,to recover a good seconds time mark?

Do you know some software to perform the above task?

Thanks for reading.

Antonio,

Unless you have a 192 KHz sampling audio card, the frequency is too high for direct decoding.

You can get low-cost receivers for both the UK (MSF) and German (DCF77) VLF transmitters. One write-up is here:

 http://www.buzzard.me.uk/jonathan/radioclock.html

which mentions a Conrad 641138-92 module, and offers part for UK residents.

Quite honestly, if time is your only interest, for the cost it's as cheap to get a low-cost GPS receiver board such as those mentioned elsewhere on the list.
