As much as I believe there should be a place and appropriate recognition for
anyone who has shown dedication to the art of time keeping, regardless of
the technology employed, I remind you of the bylaws of the time-nuts group:

/<quote>
Time-Nuts/ is a mailing list for amateurs who are interested in precise Time
& Frequency. Topics include stability of quartz oscillators, measurements of
rubidium and cesium atomic clocks, using WWVB, Loran-C, and GPS for
long-term comparisons.

So maybe these dedicated time keepers who employ technology not listed above
should not qualify.

I don't see Lecher lines, tuning forks or sun dials there :-)

Anyway, how do you compute the Allan Deviation of a sun dial?
