The clock was called "Most Accurate Clock" and had a shortwave receiver built in which monitored 5, 10, and 15 MHz (WWV?). The unit was smaller than a normal clock-radio, and a bit bigger than those small "red-led-beeping-alarm" alarm clocks. It had a led display with tenths of a second, and little leds that indicated which frequency it was monitoring, and a fourth led to show when it was actually getting a signal. Does anyone know where I could get a clock like this, or better yet the kit? I have seen lots of messages here about Heathkit, but I don't know how to reach them for a catalog. Thanks, Steve Shankman sshankman@mis.arizona.edu shankmas@arizvm1.ccit.arizona.edu [Moderator's Note: Recent messages say that Heath is alive, if not necessarily very well and still in their corporate headquarters in Benton Harbor, MI. I guess you could get a number for them from directory assistance at 616-555-1212. They probably have an 800 number also. PAT]
