I thought it was only once per day, around 2 AM where the propagation was
best.

All the commercial "atomic clocks" clocks I have seen only do time
corrections every hour to save on the battery consumption. With one of
these receivers ( there is even a link to a homebrew clock project on

Perrier,
You may have missed some bits. The plans are in the archives,
or ask John, your list manager. The coax is 1/4" in diameter
but doesn't have an RG designation on the cable. I used it
indoors near a window because 60 KHz isn't greatly affected
by wooden construction.
There is no resonating
Brian,
As only one of the listed frequencies are usable in the US, you would do better
buying an "ATOMIC" clock at your local Walmart for around $20. That way you

get a nice display and it includes the same basic receiver inside.

As I understand it, 60 KHz information is so slow that phase
information is critical. Why would anybody use a resonant
antenna in that situation? The phase shift from day to night
is more than enough to work around.
I used a non-resonant antenna proposed by John Ackermann
against Z3801 outputs and

You should do a test where you warm the rod+windings in your hand,

Hi:
I've been winding a number of loops for WWVB and have one that looks

A number of the C-Max CMMR-6P-60 receivers are on order so different

For some data, including a spectrum analyzer plot showing 20 dB s/n at

You must also bear in mind that this a world-wide list. personally I would
not be interested in sales of test equipment within the US, and I would not
look here for equipment I might like to own. (Others in the Europe might)
