Trying to get all the household’s clocks and watches synced to the CBC/NRC time signal was an extremely entertaining project in like 1996.

Over-the-air civil broadcasts that require only amateur radio knowledge to decode from scratch seem worth keeping alive. I hope that tide comes back in one day.

I am very internet-oriented and generally think it’s good when things are available digitally, but the idea that someone has to use expensive hardware, proprietary software, etc., to receive the official time signal is sad.
