One big problem with WWVB is that you can't receive it most of the day. Much easier to get at night. WWV is slightly easier to get but still it's not a 24x7 signal you will likely need to switch frequency based on propagation. To use any of these radio signals yu will need a very stable local oscillator to fill in during the times f the day when there is no signal. I live in California and I can only get WWVB (broadcaste from Colorado) after about midnight and before sunrise. But that is with a 4" loopstick antenna. A larger loop antenna might better especially if you could locate it outdoors far from a building or power lines. The other source of time is CDMA. This is a signal sent from cell towers. This can be better then WWV/WWVB. There are many CDMA based NTP servers. Some pool servrs are CDMA but I bet you will not find any WWV based servers -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
