(more for a large computer room then a small office) There is also another company that will be making a PC board which will have the WWV RF interface. All you do is plug it into the PC and with the software be able to get the WWV information. Both system uses a SMALL di-pole (~2 ft in length). I'm not sure of what their names are but if you want I will find out from my friend the name and the phone numbers.
