Re: [time-nuts] HP/Dymek DY-5842-- WARNING!
There is a large post office on Mt.Auburn Street within 1200 feet of the place you worked for over a year of the time you had Chuck's manual. There is a Post Office within 6 miles of your home, whether you go North, South or East. The manual will fit within a USPS Flat Rate box. -John = > Yes I do have the manual - I also travel to all corners of the known > universe and if I'm home I might be there for 24-48 hours.

I used to have one of these marvelous receivers and sold it. I still have
the WWVB/60kHz shielded loop antenna that I made for it and although it is
big, at about 30" x 30" x 2" or so, I believe it will ship FedEx or UPS
OK. It's free to anyone who'll pay the shipping. It's made out of copper
pipe and works quite well, and is tuned for the 5842 at 60kHz.

Fellow time-nuts:
I've got a circa 1964 DY-5842 VLF receiver. This is (was) operated in
conjunction with an external time interval counter to make a frequency
comparison. So you would select WWVL for example, and use that as your
primary standard for comparison to your local standard. It's got 5
crystals
in it: 16, 18, 19.8, 20, and 60 kHz (listed as GBR, NBA, NPM, WWVL,
WWVB).
It works and I have the manual. The thing is, the interest in something
like this is bound to be a bit narrow, so I thought I'd mention it here.
So if there are any collectors, equipment museums, etc. that might be
interested in this, please let me know. I'm a bit sentimental about this
thing, it's sort of a bit of history, and from what I can tell, somewhat
rare (doesnt make it worth anything though :). Since it's a bit of a
curiosity, I'd like to pass it to someone that might be interested in it
rather than just tossing it. I can always provide more details to anyone
that wants them.
Best regards,
Paul Davis - K9MR

Re: [time-nuts] HP/Dymek DY-5842
Dick did you ever try an unscreened loop ?? they should be just as good if not better at 60kHz.

Re: [time-nuts] HP/Dymek DY-5842
I used to have one of these marvelous receivers and sold it. I still have the WWVB/60kHz shielded loop antenna that I made for it and although it is big, at about 30" x 30" x 2" or so, I believe it will ship FedEx or UPS OK. It's free to anyone who'll pay the shipping. It's made out of copper pipe and works quite well, and is tuned for the 5842 at 60kHz.
