[time-nuts] WWVB BPSK Receiver Project?

[Brooke Clarke]

Hi John:

They are going to maintain the existing AM modulation format so all the WWVB "Atomic Clocks" will still work.  The phase 
modulation is added on top of that.

Yes, I expect my HP 117 may no longer work, but I'd much rather have the improved s/n and timing accuracy.

Have Fun,
