[time-nuts] WWVB Signal Generator

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

The question is - what’s the goal? 

If this is just a way to keep clocks ticking within the roughly 0.1 seconds you can 
see by eye, not a lot is needed. If it’s a device to drive Time Nuts sort of gear to 
parts in ten to the bazilyionth, then things get a bit more complicated. Feed it 
with it’s own GPS receiver or feed it with something else? 

Lots of questions. No real need to answer them unless the budget does go through 
with the shutdown in it. I suspect that the heart of a simple device can be done with a sub
$2 chip. GPS (obviously) would be on top of that cost. 

Going closed source / mystery box ….. not for me !!!!
