A fellow gave me a card with the times of the Molad on it according 
to different opinions.  IIRC, the real Molad is a good deal different 
from the one we announce.  There is also the Molad according to the 
RAMBAM and at least one other person.

Most people do not know that when the Molad is announced it is 
Jerusalem Solar time. And, of course, the traditionalists announce it 
in Yiddish which some do not understand.

I have come to the conclusion that the announcement of the time of 
the Molad really does not mean much to most people.
