Yes, Salmon Trout did a great job.
First of all, let me thank  Salmon Trout for contributing to this thread and providing the interesting information about the time signals used in both the United States and Europe.
I did not realize that such low frequencies were being used for time synchronization. My I thought was those frequency are rarely used by submarines for sending messages back and forth in Morse code. Speaking of Morse code, use ago there was an argument that people should continue to use and learn Morse code in case some day all microphones in the world should disappear. I never quite understood how all the microphones would disappear.
Anyway, this has been educational, but it is too much to try to comprehend all the details involved in how this stuff works. I think I need to take a break and go do something else for a while. Maybe I'll go watch a Netflix movie.
Anyhow, I don't think I want to know anymore about my atomic wristwatch. Just too much information, is like trying to – nevermind, it's not like anything.

Last line of dictation.  :)

Why ask a question, quite forcefully, if you don't want an answer?

    If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
