Magnus,

Yes, after the current 60 Hz excitement here in the US winds down
my longer-term idea is for many of us to continuously monitor our
local power frequency with some sort of web-uploading TAPR kit
and then have an informal international TDEV competition. There
are now time-nuts in dozens of countries so this is both possible
and interesting.

You're welcome to collect data on your 50 Hz; it could serve as a
benchmark for us time drifters here in the west.

Extrapolating further, I wonder if anyone has done common view
time transfer based on synchronized power grids? Although not
as precise as LF or TV or GPS methods it would make a nice
demo of the concept.
