[time-nuts] PN sequence generation using GPS

[scmcgrath at gmail.com]

Speaking as a ham,  if this is tried you will have hams complaining and DF'ing the offending signal.  

 Chuck, you are correct in that no one but the hams care but the reason behind this is that policing the ham bands has been delegated to the hams and specifically certified 'Official Observers'.  Once a infraction and especially a.unlicensed infraction is noted penalties are pretty severe and swift.

If you want to do this get a 'experimental license'

Given the quality of the rank-and-file ham, and the fact that nobody, but
hams really care what happens on the ham bands, who would ever know?

I think you could run any form of SS you wanted to on the ham bands for
the rest of your life, and as long as you were semi-competent about it
(eg. didn't cause interference) you would remain undetected.
