Re: [time-nuts] WWVB sync

2013-03-21 Thread Clint Turner
Not to beat the topic to death, I did have an occasion to repeat the 
WWVB signal.  Although the signals here in Utah are very strong (3-5 
millivolts/meter, maybe) they weren't strong enough to find their way 
into a noisy office building, so  about a decade ago I built a system 
for a friend of mine that works there


http://ka7oei.blogspot.com/2012/08/receiving-wwvb-indoors-so-that-your.html

Apparently, its been duplicated elsewhere for DCF77, etc.  It may be 
possible to carefully null the MSF signal without also taking WWVB out 
too much, but Murphy says that anywhere it's needed, MSF and WWVB will 
be exactly 180 degrees apart!


* * *

There are also some passive booster systems, such as this:

http://newdwf.com/viewtopic.php?f=59t=4736

This is just a large-ish resonant ferrite antenna circuit into which one 
places the watch (or whatever).


This passive device may not help with QRM from MSF or something local 
like a switching supply, but it ought to work in cases of weak signal.


73,

Clint

Mine (it's a Brookstone, I don't know who manufactured it) will go a 
few days without a successful sync, then it switches to trying every 
two hours until it successfully synchronizes.  I think it will then 
use that time every day until you intervene manually or it has to do 
it again.  It also seems to adjust the local XO when it has daily 
success -- after running awhile with daily sync, it has outstanding 
holdover performance.


I'm in a low-signal area, but even here signal strength does not seem 
to be a problem.  Local interference at 60 kHz, however, is a big problem.


NIST Special Publication 960-14 (2009) gives recommended practices 
for WWVB-disciplined clock manufacturers and consumers.  (It may have 
been updated or replaced since the new modulation scheme was adopted) 
http://tf.nist.gov/timefreq/general/pdf/2422.pdf

2013-03-21 Thread paul swed
There isn't anyone who can give you that. Lots of variables. Now since you
are in Co maybe you live on a 1000 acre ranch so no other noise sources
around you. But just suppose you lived in a typical RF nasty subdivision.
Well your noise floors going to be much worse and I mean by an order or two
of junk.
I do indeed rcv LORAN C on occasion from Europe with a typical boat preamp
and stick antenna. That is over water but about the same distance.

So that said
I did build a 10' square loop for WWVB and that system improved my
reception greatly.

Interference can come from unexpected sources.  For a couple of months I was 
cursing an on-off wide band noise that extended from VLF to about 5 MHz.  I 
started tracing it with a transistor radio and found it was coming from a 
battery charger in my own woodworking shop.  Now I turn off that plug

strip unless I am actually charging a battery.

night I do.
So the old sharp did sync last night. Hmmm a local event or fresh
batteries. I know I have added a new switching power supply for my tablet.

Hi

The other half of the equation is 60KHz interference from MSF. Winter
propagation may favor them.

 Guys this is just silly build a 10' square loop and preamp. Driver amp
and
 place it 400 ft from the house. Now run coax to your wrist and use

 Open a six pac and wait.

 having trouble, though I did get my watch to sync last night after
turning
 off all the possible interfering devices in the house.  Life on the
fringe?
