Subject: [time-nuts] Synchronizing to WWV
Hi Nuts,
Most of you have probably seen this before, but I ran across a great
1975-vintage paper on how to synchronize your clocks and frequency
standards
to WWV's HF broadcasts. The equipment needs are very basic - a clock, a
radio, and an oscilloscope. The procedure is simple and far more reliable
than the tone-detection method I attempted earlier.
NBS Technical Note 668 - The Use of National Bureau of Standards High
Frequency Broadcasts for Time and Frequency Calibrations (
http://tf.nist.gov/timefreq/general/pdf/453.pdf)
Yes, I realize that GPS is literally a million times more accurate, but if
all you need is milliseconds, this will do the job cheaper than a GPSDO
or
it could serve as a backup. Plus it's a lot of fun to stare at the
traces.
They are quite hypnotic.
Thanks,
-JP
