Re: [time-nuts] Happy 20th Year
Thank you, too, Tom. I have REALLY appreciated your insight (and your 'site') all these years. VERY educational. As I am just a simple engineer (vs a scientist) I use the motto of 'seeing-is-believing'. Your 'trip' up the mountain brought a concept into reality, for me, I'll never forget. Thank you.

Re: [time-nuts] 20th year of time nuts mailing list
Tom, thanks for doing this crazy thing that has so many of us involved. Since meeting you, John Ackerman, and others at the BHI 150th Anniversary celebration in England, I somehow have acquired four Rb GPSDOs, two Ce chip-scale atomic clocks, two Rb miniature atomic clocks, a host of counter-timers and oscilloscopes, four Hamilton 21 chronometers, and an untold number of GPSDOs and receivers, none of which I had realized that I needed prior to meeting you guys. My current project of synchronizing Hamilton chronometers with atomic standards is coming together, with three systems built and operational. Now, if I can just find someone who needs a "perfect" chronometer for their megayacht, I'll be in business.

Re: [time-nuts] 20th year of time nuts mailing list
Thank you all and happy new year. I joined this list in 2010, my first GPSDO was completed in 2001 when working on DVB transmission equipment here in Italy, at that time among the very first digital video modulators produced. Precise timing was entering the digital video broadcast industry.

Re: [time-nuts] 20th year of time nuts mailing list
Congratulations! Time nuts has been such a great place to be all theses years for me even if the information flow has been mostly one way. I have learned an enormous amount. Pete.

I get comments all the time about this mailing list; its depth, its high SNR, its focus, its vast archive of quality postings, and especially, the community that evolved around the list. On the web the phrase "time nut" is now a proper noun, sometimes an adjective, or occasionally a diagnosis or disease. Never in my wildest dreams did I think any of this would happen. I thought my early interest in nixie tubes, clocks, electronics, and precise timing might be a passing phase, and that the frequency of eBay purchases would fade. But no. This turns out to be an incredibly wide, deep, interesting, and rewarding hobby. The mailing list started with 6 people (half of whom are still active) and we now have 1850 members.
