[time-nuts] Lady Heather

[Dave Mallery]

hi

i wanted to give a status update on the wining of the lady...

from an installation perspective, it has been a study in "back to basics":
chown vs editing /etc/group and cd "Program Files (x86)" to get past the
"(".

from the app view, i see that my rooftop antenna leaves a LOT to be desired
(the OR coast is very vertical to the east) and large trees close in are
bad.

i think there is another problem:  watching the 10MHz on two counters i see
the Hz digit 10,000,00n varying about ten (down for quite a while then back
up.

perhaps this a caused by the lousy view from the antenna... having only a
single sat most of the time leads to a holdover every 15-20 minutes.
both counters vary the same way, and only differ be about 2 Hz... so it
probably is real.  my late-lamented Rb unit was much more stable.

the antenna is fixable... it has to be moved from the current location to
the highest i can get it off the shop roof.  that will take me a while.

many thanks to all who helped.
