OK if not DTV what other common signal that you could pick up without use of exotic equipment (so this entirely eliminates rotating neutron starts or "pulsars") what else can you get that has decent timing other then GPS and CDMA. I'm not giving up on DTV yet. The video signal is compressed so it may be basically white noise but I bet it is wrapped in some transport like packets that are regular. In practice GPS works well but a question came up here "What could you use if GPS went away?" I said "I bet there is some signal all around us that just happens to have precision timing embedded in it. Maybe DTV maybe it's direct broadcast TV. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
