This a somewhat crude, proof-of-concept, not robust, decoder for the timesignal broadcast by DCF77 on 77.5 kHz.
It is to be used by first opening http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ in one browser tab, tuning to 77.5 kHz CW, then opening this page in a second tab, and then having some patience.
I've tested it under Firefox, and it may also work under Chrome and Opera; other browsers lack the necessary communication between tabs.
