One does not simply increase the transmitter power at 60kHz. The WWVB antennas are essentially capacitors against ground, around 15nF, and they operate at voltages somewhere in the 30-50kV range. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [email protected] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] -- To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to and follow the instructions there.
