AW: [time-nuts] Cesium DOES Drift, not

[Brooke Clarke]

Hi Chuck:

I have one of the many FTS4060/S24 units being sold on 
http://www.governmentliquidation.com.  As far as I can tell these are 
stripped of every possible thing that could reduce the price and so I'm 
sure there's no built in degaussing capability.

But I'm willing to wait out the problem if that's what it is.

Thanks,

Brooke Clarke, N6GCE
