So you use an electrically-shielded loop antenna.

Nice big chunk of ferrite's good.

How the hell do they get antennas that work inside those radiocode wrist
watches? Do they craftily use the strap?

I don't know, but wouldn't surprise me.

Me, I wear a $20 Timex, that I sync to NIST about once-a-month.
Usually out no more than 4 seconds.

That's the frustrating thing, I have an atomic watch and it never fails to
synch right, but that Atomix clock in my room will unsynch all the time and
I can only keep it in one place in the room for it to work most of the
time, I can't even hang it on the wall where I want it.

Return it.

I have a $17 Sams' Club atomic clock that stays in synch, and it's
battery operated.
