[time-nuts] FS: HP 5328a

[Jose Camara]

Understood. As I said, I wasn't complaining about the offers here, just
curious about what is welcome and what isn't. Your post clarified it.

BTW, thanks for leapsecond.com - excellent site - technical with a sense of
humor.

Hi Jose,

We/I have no written policy on this, but my feeling is that anyone
that wants to mention their precision time related company or T&F
specific gear for direct sale, or on eBay - maybe once or twice a
year - is more than welcome to do so. We all win when modern or
vintage time & frequency instruments are personally handed from
one time-nut to another. Rarely has anyone abused this privilege.

The intro/charter page is www.leapsecond.com/time-nuts.htm

There is no double standard. When I sense threads get way too
far off-topic or when threads belong in the LEAPSECS list (UTC,
timescales, leap seconds) instead of time-nuts, then I send out
polite email off-line.
