    AT THE TONE THE TIME WILL BE 12:49 AND 50 SECONDS. BEEP!

    No thanks. I like my internet time sync and GPS navigation.

        It doesn’t have to be a memory, NIST still runs two telephone time numbers - (303) 499-7111 (WWV) and (808) 335-4363 (WWVH). They say they get about 1000 calls a day which is surprisingly high.

        They’re still on shortwave too.
