I've designed similar setups a couple of times: Since we're located
in Europe my backup was the German radio transmitter since that one
uses spread spectrum modulation of the carrier, enabling 10-15 us
precision.
That is about 2 miles light travel time. I suspect you are further
than that from the tranmitter. And propagation is all in the
atmosphere, and the speed of radio varies in the atmosphere,
depending on the pressure, the humidity, clouds,.... Ie, I am
doubting the 10-15us. Maybe 10-15 ms.?
Bill, please!
This was of course with an initial propagation time measurement period,
where we used the GPS PPS signal to verify the ground wave propagation
time of the radio signal, then adjusting for that offset in the radio
driver.
Yes, propagation time will vary a bit over a 24H period, but this
provides a very useful backup.
