Hi,
I'm finally getting around to trying to get a Spectracom 8170 WWVB
receiver doing something useful.
Unfortunately, I only have the unit, not the antenna/preamp.
Anyone built a replacement antenna for this? Could this be made to work with
a commercial ferrite core antenna, maybe something like
http://www.c-max-time.com/products/showProduct.php?id=18
with a little preamp circuit of some sort run off the 12v supplied by the 8170?
If someone has already built something like this and could point me to
a schematic, that would be much appreciated. Otherwise I guess I'll roll
something of my own.
Thanks.
Scott
