Hello,
Does anyone have any schematics or recommendations for such for
building a WWV receiver? I can't afford to buy one due to
disability-related medical expenses, but I could afford to build one
with some help. The help I can get. The schematic I have not. Can you
please help? Thank you very much.



There are several computer programs to sync the clock in any commputer
to a source with tied to NIST via the internet. If you turn on all the
features it automatically adjusts for the round-trip delays, and the
drift in the crystal on your PC and will be accurate to 10's of
milliseconds.

This is called NTP (Network Time Protocol)

I can think of a couple of ways to set this up if you have
a dial-up internet connection.

See http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/
and http://www.ntp.org/


Here's a very good and easy to use application... It's called D4 (Dimension
4) time.

Works with Win9x/ME but not with XP (XP has it's own time sync application).
