Hmmm... do you mean that the 1-pps from the GPSDO is "raw" 1pps from its
internal receiver? I really do not understand. Please elaborate.

Its kind of a duality in the receivers. The GPSDO receiver is using a
lousy internal crystal producing relatively noisy 1pps-pulses being
cleaned up by a very good oven crystal. The modified receiver takes a very
good clock to drive it, then using the relatively noisy 1pps circutry of
the GPS-receiver.

Lets rephrase. Its good news that the atmosphere can be well behaved at a
randomly chosen spot.
