Interesting, thanks for the reply. I think an analog clock that could set the time using NTP over wifi would be a 'killer feature'. Radio clocks just don't work that well in many places.

Getting a reply from (presumably) the source is what I love about HN.



I thought that radio clocks were dead! The US government transmitters that make them work were supposed to be turned off in 2019, and I hadn't heard that the decision was reversed.


NIST's original 2019 budget proposal would've defunded and eliminated WWVB, but the final budget didn't-- likely a direct result of the public outcry about the closure.



DCF77 is still going, I have a clock that syncs with it.
