<Donning asbestos underwear> Gentlemen, I've found this discussion interesting and informative. This household works on quantum information theory rather than engineering so there is much for us to learn.
I must observe that if an event takes out the entire GPS system (which a Carrington event would not do) we will have issues a great deal more immediate and pressing than getting hyper-precise timing systems restored. And speaking of Carrington events, how many of us have our equipment surrounded by Faraday cages and supplied with off-grid power? Because without those, we won't have instruments to measure T&F at home or even in a great many labs and businesses. Just a thought.....
