Building oscillators, restoring old frequency standards, interfacing to a 
clock or time display, and tracking your successes and failures is the lure. 
For independent checking of time and to some extent frequency, I play with 
several radio related approaches:  WWV, WWVB, CHU, GPS, and Russian 
Tsikada/Parus satellites.  LORAN may or may not be going away.  You will 
often hear that time is the inverse of frequency, but the inverse of 
frequency is period or time interval.  Time is set by governments.

Have fun, explore,
