WHY do people want to subsidize AT&T/Sprint/MCI and (insert your favorite long-
distance company here)?

Buy the Heath Clock, $249.95 plus $49.95 for the RS-232 interface, put it
together, string a wire an get the correct time.

You will always, if you have a halfway decent wire antenna, get GOOD time.
The only inconvenience is setting the Year offset and DST changes.

Heath 1-800-253-0570.  No connection with Heath; we put their kit together and
it works!
