I figure it'd just be easier to have a nearby computer synced with NTP,
and then use a serial port or something to keep the clock running on time.
But then, maybe the radio receiver would be easier to deal with..

I've got a cheap `atomic clock' that I got at Target, though it only
manages to sync every few days, and the time drifts off by a second or
three every day..  Of course, what do you expect from Target?
