Hi I’d bet that the “learning” about atomic clocks is not the only thing going on. Like any organization, they aren’t really very excited about talking about problems they have not solved yet. Bob > On Jul 22, 2017, at 8:37 PM, Mark Sims wrote: > > Does anybody know why

Does anybody know why it is taking so long to commission the last batch of 4 sats launched at the end of last year? It took them 6 months to enable the first two. The other two are still unavailable. ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com

Fellow time-nuts, I thought that I should write a few lines about the EFTF-IFCS, so a good start would be the Cross-correlation workshop which is about addressing the complexities of the cross-correlation measurement and achieving stable and proper measurements. This session was curated by

I'm wondering if something like this $10 item http://www.nulsom.com/datasheet/NS-RS232_en.pdf Would perform the same function as the components in the factory cable once I've figured the pinout at the clock end, which shouldn't be too hard unless someone has done that already. Or would I need
