[time-nuts] WWVB Disciplined Oscillator

[gandalfg8 at aol.com]

That's an interesting document, thanks for the link.
For what it's worth, despite the changes to WWWB there is at least one Spectracom 8164 still running as originally intended, well, sort of:-)
I have an 8164 in the UK that will run quite happily from MSF, although I must admit to keeping it more for nostalgic reasons these days just because I like it:-)

John Ackermann has some interesting observations on the 8164.....

Perhaps this has been mention before, but I found the following documentwhile researching some details on WWVB and thought it might interest the
group:

I know that Spectracom once made a WWVB Disciplined Oscillator in the form
of the Model 8164, but I figured that this approach probably was obsolete
in the era of GPS and network-based time. However, the author seems to have
produced some interesting results.  Has anyone else built, or tried to
build a WWVB Disciplined Oscillator?
