On another list to which I subscribe, the question was asked about the suitability of recording WWV 2.5mhz audio as one track when recording off the air signals of interest as a time reference.
The person who asked the question didn't really state his intentions but they seem very similar to my immediate needs. That is, simply a time reference - that is "the time", the start of the minute, and periodic references (i.e. seconds) between the announcements. It seems that recording the audio of something like WWV or CHU is ideal. However, another approach would be recording a more proper time code signal as you might have available from a "precision clock". Of course, a decoder would also be required. A quick Google search turned up lots of leads which I have yet to sort through. In the interim I thought I would pose the question to the learned members of this group for their suggestions. Keep in mind KISS and that a very high degree of accuracy is not required. Is there an opensource/freeware PC app that will generate an appropriate time code signal that can be recorded on one track of an audio recorder (either PC based i.e. Audacity or standalone) that will also decode via soundcard or other input?
