Does not mean I cannot use my Radio Shack timer to navigate.

A clock is not an device that receives navigation signals.

VOR facilities are not specified in the regulations, unlike the clock.
"Ground facilities" are, and are supported by ATC policy statements,
which presume VOR to be the primary means of navigation in the NAS.

It's not my argument; it's the FAA's and they win every time with it in
an eforcement proceeding.
