[time-nuts] Nutty time-nuttery with WWVB

[Clint Jay]

Found it.

There was an article by Andy Flind in a UK electronics magazine,  EPE
December 2001 which detailed an MSF repeater to overcome a problem with
60KHz time signal reception.

Shouldnt be bothered by the signal format as I remember it being a very
simple design.

As others have pointed out,  even re radiating the original signal may
cause problems so take care.
