My general solution to generating clock frequencies of any frequency is to take a middle frequency from the divider chain (say 10kHz) and feed it into a PLL chip with a divider (say 3 or 6 using a Johnson counter which resets) in the feedback loop. This multiplies the VCO output by 3 (30kHz or 60kHz) which will then divide down to 60Hz with very little phase noise. The only difficulty is the need for a reset that is synchronised
with the PPS signal. (use a D latch or two)

Recently I bought a Efratom Ru frequency standard from eBay and a frequency divider chip that makes 1MHZ,100KHZ,25KHZ,10KHZ,100HZ and a 1HZ output. Today I thought of a way to make a nice 60HZ so you can use a mains-powered clock for the display (using amplifier and transformer wired "backwards").
