[time-nuts] ACAM GP22 Chip

[Thomas Allgeier]

Hello Bob,

Thanks for the suggestions - these sound a bit beyond my current level of 
skills and kit. But I do have people to call on in the office who may be 
able to rig something like that up for me should the coax route fail.

Best regards,
Thomas.
