[time-nuts] A Research Proposal

[Glen English VK1XX]

In Australia, we have a national grid. It's big.

National meaning all but a few isolated towns like Darwin, Perth. Perth 
might be connected via a 1800 km HVDC line in the future... which is a 
different story .... DC interconnectors....

So, I gather  someone  with their MASER in Adelaide could compare their 
MASER to the 50 Hz over some period, and provide the relative offset of 
the grid to others, so others  in australia also observing and averaging 
over some period , could get a useful frequency reference from their 
wall socket.

-which I gather is what people do , since i am new to this timing game.

That would have its limits depending on the ADEV of the mains . and the 
use of DC interconnectors.
