[time-nuts] new WWVB BPSK dev board

[Tom Van Baak]

At long last, a complete WWVB 60 kHz BPSK dev board is available:

https://universal-solder.ca/product/everset-es100-cob-wwvb-60khz-bpsk-receiver-kit-with-2-antennas/

Note it includes the antenna(s). Also has links to documentation.

It would be very nice if a bunch of time nuts around the country played with these and reported results.

Prior to this, the only device that you could buy which used the enhanced WWVB format was the La Crosse 404-1235UA-SS UltrAtomic clock. It was not developer friendly, so a dev board with the Everset ES100 chip is good news.

The maker / hacker / Arduino crowd may enjoy a fresh source of accurate time; something independent of GPS or NTP. Some technical postings about reception quality, acquisition speed, and timing precision would be most welcome.
