The GOES xponder if on was still good. Just no sig. Boy I think it was millisecond range as I recall. Believe it was truly a time of Day transport. Though I think you could get pretty good accuracy over long periods of time. They may have used it to xmit freq info. I used it only for time. Beat the heck out of wwv. Kind of always there. I remember doppler shift came into play and the time of year. I actually tracked some geo sats with known color burst signals originating from the facility I ran. Been years. My reference was 2 X very good crystal oven sync gens. But one customer that we uplinked to the satellites was the CBS network who ran color burst derived from cesium references. I would adjust the xtals to that ref for the facilities 22 cable networks that we originated. Since the ovens were on 24 X 7 forever. They were very very stable. Regards Paul
