[time-nuts] COMPARE GPS DERIVED 10MHz FREQUENCY OF TO LOCAL OSCILLATOR

Hi, What would be a good method of using my Z3801A 10MHz out put to adjust the oscillator adjustment dial on my 8130 Spectracom Frequency Standard Oscillator. When I use the 8160A Spectracom NSB frequency Standard Receiver WWVB it has a frequency calibration feature which allows a local

Your report, though, inspires me to look into more reliable and precise ways to measure the frequency of one's local grid. I had not actually considered monitoring electric fields off the air before, but it seems like this might be fairly practical. One very simple method that I have used is
