What do they need for accuracy?
Some of the radio astronomy people are world class time nuts. All the VLBI
stations have a Hydrogen Maser.
Don't forget the delay through your radio. You can avoid that by injecting
the PPS it a spare channel and using that for the low bits of the time stamp.
You need something else to number the seconds. Plan B is use the PPS to keep
your system clock close to UTC and correct for the delay by measuring it once
and assume it doesn't change much.
