Hi Bob S, An HOA can be a daunting problem, but not one that cannot be solved with a little guile. Every house I have ever seen that has modern plumbing has a few vent stacks on the roof. Would the HOA even notice if yours sprouted another one dark weekend evening? All the kit you need to add

Hi If you believe the 3 ns / M applies in this case, tides will give you about 1 ns or so. If the geometry of the motion (vertical) and the orientation of the sat’s is not same / same, the impact will be a bit less. On an L1 system without some sort of ionosphere “help” and working just off of

Hi Add to that the fact that not everybody is moving at an inch per year. Around here the magic number is in the 1.5 to 2 mm per year range. It’s enough to be worth correcting survey results vs benchmarks every few years. It’s not enough to get into an L1 timing system any time soon …. Bob

Attila, Timing people account for everything that's important. A continental drift of an inch per year acts like a slow phase change over time, which by definition, is a frequency offset. So an inch per year is at most 1/12 * 1e-9 / (365*86400) or 3e-18. For the current precision with which

How is this achieved? Is there a coupled dead-reckoning system that updates the timing location, or something else? Hi BobS, No need for dead-reckoning -- GPS gives you the location. And the time. Take a step back and remember how GPS works. You have sats flying above that essentially send

Hi Tides are complicated once you get on land. They aren’t as simple as you might think when you are on the sea. There are people out there who are “Tide Nuts” and every bit as obsessive as Time Nuts. Most of the time and most of the places, you get roughly a third of a meter change in
