Hi Donald, On the page referenced by Alex later in this thread, there is a link to Galleon as a US distributor of the HKW modules and WWVB receiver chip: http://www.ntp-time-server.com/wwvb-receiver/wwvb-receiver.html where the price may or may not be lower than direct shipping from EU, or availability could be as vaporous as elsewhere.

I wish to thank you all for the information presented here about WWVB receivers. A few years ago I had been building some LED clocks for friends, more art then electronics. Those clocks had a WWVB receiver I got from Digikey. Today I am re-visiting those clocks as Word Clocks. Letters instead of numbers forming words, I am sure you have seen them around. People keep saying there are WWVB chips available, but I can not find any chips. When I ask for information about these chips, no response. I have asked about discrete designs and Digital designs, no response. I am not able to design these myself. So any tangible information would help. Ok, I can not get chips/modules here in the US. I do find modules from Europe and China. I am in Boulder, Colorado. This is where Sparkfun is located. I asked them about the receiver modules they had carried for years, They said they can not get them any more, OK. But why ? Nobody knows. Digikey won't even answer my emails about them. I had asked a China manufacture for 2 units, but they can not sell me 2 units. But if I buy 20 units (I would be a manufacture) then they can sell them to me. So, bottom line. I can only get modules from Europe/China at $20 each. OK. If I have come across too <pick your favorite term>, I apologize. I thought this would be a simple question with a simple answer. On another note, I have found a WiFi module for $3.00 and I can connect to an NNTP server. ESP-8266, if you need a serial to WiFi connection. I will re-start my project with a new direction. Thank You for your response.
