Seems to me the answer may be simpler than trying to use VLF transmissions
for U.S. or U.K. atomic clocks. I think that technology is almost "old hat"
these days.
I have a "golf" watch that gives me yardages on just about any golf course
in the world, and it is all coordinated by GPS satellites. It starts
operating in just a few seconds from the time you turn it on--incredibly
faster than the first GPS unit I owned. The time function is instantaneous,
and I assume that comes from the GPS satellites as well. So, couldn’t
something along this line be incorporated in a ham rig? Heck! It could
even probably give you your current grid square! Maybe this sound like it
could be "pricey", but I suspect the electronic "guts" of a GPS unit are
becoming pretty inexpensive to create. The incredible stuff I'm getting out
of China these days, and for "nickels and dimes", makes me think this is
doable, and at a reasonable price!
