[time-nuts] NIST Technical Note 2187 - A Resilient Architecture for the Realization and Distribution of Coordinated Universal Time to Critical Infrastructure Systems in the United States

2021-11-14 Thread Magnus Danielson via time-nuts

Fellow time-nuts,

NIST just published the technical note 2187 that probably some of you 
might find interesting. It's for free download here:


https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/TechnicalNotes/NIST.TN.2187.pdf

I think you will find quite a bit of interesting material in there. Just 
recall, the fine-print says that mention of vendors and solutions is for 
technical completeness and not is any form of endorsement, other vendors 
and products exists that may be just as good or even better.


This is part of a larger context, but I think you will find a lot of 
interesting things in there.


Cheers,
Magnus

Dan, could it be that you have a spoofer in the area?

[time-nuts] Efratom MFS modules for sale to a good time-nut home

2021-11-14 Thread Wilko Bulte
hi,
I checked with Tom and he OK-ed me posting this:
As you probably have seen my ham buddy Dave & I possess some surplus modules 
from the Efratom MFS that we would like sell to a "time-nutty" enthousiast for 
a "time-nutty" price. Or "amateur price", as we ham's tend to call it here in 
NL. We prefer to not put it 'on the Bay' as you probably can imagine.

We have as surplus:
- MGPS GPSD module to discipline the Rb (the two Rb are 'keepers' ;-) incl 
bulkhead & antenna
- MBU battery backup units (Qty 2)
- MFC 2.048MHz synthesizer module
- MRM monitoring module
- MDC-RR module
The special DIN41612 connectors that go onto the rear of these modules are 
included.
All of it comes from a military mobile sat groundstation, housed in an 
air-conditioned truck mounted sheltercontainer. I tested it before dismantling 
the hulking 6U double rack depth unit. 
Please contact me off-list at w...@xs4all.nl in case you are interested. 
Equipment is located in Arnhem, the Netherlands. Pick-up is OK, as is shipping 
at buyer's cost.
best,
Wilko
