[time-nuts] Austron 2010B possibilities?

[John Ackermann N8UR]

I had always thought the primary application was to work with the LORAN
receivers, so it's interesting to know that it was used with other
references as well.  The 1150 oscillator inside certainly has good
specs, so if the loops don't introduce too much noise it should work well.

I'll run the experiment and let folks know how it goes!
