Just a word: When budget cuts are announced, the agencies put the most
valued "stuff" to be cut first, such as the Washington monument, etc.
This is a recognized ploy. When the dust settles, all may be well. . .

Like all of you I have a few wwvb clocks that work pretty well here in
Boston.
Certainly have written enough wwvb stuff and created various wwvb
projects
that I will have to get back into it again.
I did look at the cron-verter. Have to say it has a lot of nice
features.
Unfortunately it hasn't been available for a year or so. (Getting lazy)
The good news is the AM modulation of wwb is very easy to create.

I fear the worst. The line in the website simply stated something
like
"shutting down
the transmitters in Colorado and Hawaii", which would seem to include
the
whole
enchilada.
For the wall clocks, GPS should work well if people are willing to go
to
battery-
backed AC power. But not so good for wristwatches, where the
expectation
is to
run at uW power levels. I for one would be very irritated at having
to
take my watch
off my wrist and put it on a charging stand every night. So if this
shutdown comes
to pass, I'll be looking for an inexpensive GPS-to-WWVB converter, or
at
least
plans for building one.
