I’ve noticed recently it’s been ringing for about 20 seconds and then answers.

HUH. It just worked after you posted and I called it back.

“US Naval Observatory master clock, at the tone, Eastern Standard time, 22 hours 29 minutes 30 seconds”

Just called from one of my phones. Rang forever. Called from the other and it answered immediately. Seems it has a mind of its own.

You can spell out P.O.P.C.O.R.N on any handset I remember regardless of area code and you get the time
