Yes, definitly. Often it's very simple information one is lacking.
Like: where to find such information :-)
KO4BB's site is definitly worth a look, even if a bit overwhelming
and not clearly structured (especially if you dont know what you are
looking for).
A list of OCXOs and their benefits/drawbacks, like the list Luciano
(aka timeok) send a couple of weeks back is also a great help.
Or Vig's presentation on quarz resonators (if you haven't read it, you should!)
Then a list of sources for time/frequency refrences and how to aquire
them (like GPS -> GPSDO, DCF77/WWVB receivers etc). But i don't know
of any document that does this...
And something that glues all of the above together...
The rest is just a mater of asking and finding the right documenation.
