[time-nuts] Features of a Precision Clock?

[tom]

i believe the us power grid is on 60hz and that the power companies sync up 
before providing power.  that doesnt mean that everyone is in phase.  the 
east is some delayed from the west so that it depends where you are with 
respect to the prime starting point.  long term they are at 60hz to make the 
clocks on time but for +/- with wwv, anybodys guess at any one point in 
time.  hope that helps some.
