It's not ASC II, it's ASCII. The II stands for Information Interchange not the roman numeral 2. Anyway, I used to have a number for the Naval Observatory clock in Washington, but it doesn't seem to work anymore. -Ron

The National Bureau of Standards broadcasts the correct time (GMT) on a number of short wave bands (2.5, 5.0, 10.0 among others--I don't know what units these are in). They also broadcast over the phone. I don't remember the number but you should be able to get it through information in Boulder.
