Ron Ward sayeth: Hi: I have been looking at the poor quality solder joints on the oscillator. If you have a steady hand and a small tipped soldering with silver baring (about 2% silver) solder, I would re-solder the connections. Many of them do not look properly wetted and cold. Some of the heat

Hi Pulsars are an interesting clock. That by no means equates to them being a better clock than an ion standard or possibly a neutron standard. If you look at ADEV numbers, there's pretty much no way a pulsar will be anywhere near the level a good atomic clock can deliver over useful time
