    As for WWVB-synchronized wall clocks and wristwatches, some folks are already creating GPS to WWVB converters.  Here's one of several I've seen:

    It won't be long before they're sold on eBay from Asian suppliers. 

    The WWVB coding protocol is easily replicated in rPi and Arduino devices.  Of course, power and radiation levels must be kept within country regulatory limits. If the limits are ignored, it would be easy to set up a "whole house" converter.  For 10 MHz, a telescoping whip antenna on the output of a GPSDO covers a surprisingly large area.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
