A bit OT, but back in the day there was what amounted to an X-prize for a real accurate chronometer for navigation.

Make that way back in the day.

Somehow I suspect everyone knows this story. ;-)

Subject: [time-nuts] Time nut newbie

Hi all,

I'm a time nut newbie. My obsession started with the search for an accurate chronometer to carry on my boat for celestial navigation. Yes there still are a few of us left that practice the art.

My current project is a quartz chronometer using a DS32Khz tcxo oscillator and two 74HC4060s (+ or- 10 seconds / year).  

For my next project I'm looking at an Abricon Part Number AOCJY2-10.000MHZ  ocxo 5 ppb running through a pic and using the algorithm posted on http://www.romanblack.com/one_sec.htm. I'm shooting for + or - 1 seconds / year.  

 Is there an archive of old posts that might be helpful in answering some of my questions and for getting ideas. 

Thanks,

  Tim KK4FQB
