[time-nuts] First success with very simple, very low cost GPSDO

You need a bit for the sign.   That leaves only 25.6 PPM error from nominal, 
51.2 peak-peak.  Half that at 10 MHz.

Why?  The original goal was low cost.  I could easily believe that an 
inexpensive oscillator would be off by more than 1 PPM.
