[time-nuts] 10MHz LTE-Lite - PPS accuracy?

[Bill Dailey]

Or use 1ns per foot of antenna cable.  That will get you closer.

If you happen to live at USNO or NIST, you can access that sort of timing. For the rest of us - not so easy. The NIST two way GPS “modem” setup is about the only practical method that I know of.
