I'm in San Jose, Calif. I have a cheap clock that I picked up at a garage sale.
It being a cheap clock, uses a ferite rod, so is quite directional. Also, I
need to place it in a window as well. It seems to pick up the signal at least
once a day, most likely after dark.
Mine blinks the antenna signal when it thinks it is receiving the signal and
then has a solid one when it updates, for a day. These are all different so
your milage may vary.

Your original email with the link did not make it into the digest, which is
what I receive.
Chirs, Did you also send it directly to Bill. Perhaps that is what he got.
