[time-nuts] What's all this about violins in the streets?

Yes, mine have shown similar errors from time to time.  Usually a new  
battery fixes the problem.  I have had it happen on AC powered  clocks.  The usually 
go back to proper time after I press the WAVE  button.  I figure they must 
get some interference from something that  causes them to go off time.  Overall, 
they work very well and seldom go off  time.  Going from PST to DST and back 
can be problematic for my  clocks.  I think I have 10 of them around the house 
and I usually have to  put in a new battery or restart 3 or 4 of them at 
PST/PDT time change.  I  am located in the Los Angeles area so the WWVB signal is 
OK here but not as  strong as for a lot of the country.
