I call (303) 499-7111 (a line to the Nat'l Bureau of Standards) for a
voice rendition of the NBS time.

[Moderator's Note: The only reason I do not often recommend this one
is because you only get the voice time announcement once a minute. On
the NAVOSBY system you can be on and off in about 15 secons or less.
On the NBS line, its conceivable you could be charged for a two minute
phone call if you happen to come in a couple seconds before the
minute. But their other announcements on the quarter hour are
worthwhile also sometimes.  PAT]
