Eric, there was a wonderful TV show back about '79 called "Darkroom" that had an episode that sorta dealt w/that theme...A man finds an old morse keyer/receiver, starts playing w/it, & SOMEHOW picks up his deceased father's destroyer in WW2...Long story short, he warns them of a U-boat, & then falls asleep..He wakes up, his father is alive, & about that time, the local Offen-Fuhrer struts in...All the cars are 1979 models, but they're all VWs, Mercedes, Audis...The newspaper is no longer "The Cleveland Plain-Dealer", its "Die Cleveland Deutschlander"...(grin) WWV is the Nat'l Bureau of Standards time station in Fort collins Colorado. It broadcasts continually on several different frequencies, so if you NEED absolutely correct time, you can have it. Now, computers off er extremely accurate time, & its available from a number of different sources as well, but "Back in the Day", you had WWV or its Canadian counterpart, CHU.
