Nice stuff, Bernd! I understand that you received some negative feedback on your ripple counter divider circuit but a single resync flipflop on its outputs in front of the AC04 drivers will do the job. Best regards Ulrich Bangert -Ursprungliche Nachricht- Von:

Hello Antonio, Looking at the aerial photographs on Google Maps, the transmitter building can be seen at 54.91224°N, 3.27831°W - nearer Cardurnock than Anthorn! Which are the actual aerial masts though, I don't know. Might I suggest you contact Peter Whibberley at the National Physical

note that at 54,9 degrees, one least significant decimal digit in the latitude/longditude is approx 11cm/6cm . That might well explain why there are multiple references. Le 12/07/2010 11:46, Peter Vince a écrit : Hello Antonio, Looking at the aerial photographs on Google Maps, the

A word of caution here: Don't trust Google maps coordinates for any technical / serious work, they can have errors in the 100´s meter class. And also don't use the copyright date of the maps and images as a time reference, they normally are older than that. If you live in an area under

Hello Ulrich - thank you very much for kind reply - this is a great suggestion. Would you recommend simple 74xx74 flipflops driven by the original 10 MHz signal delivered by the rubidium oscillator for resynching? Thank you very much and have a great day - sincerely, Bernd. :-)

Bernd, Would you recommend simple 74xx74 flipflops driven by the original 10 MHz signal delivered by the rubidium oscillator for resynching? In principle, yes. However not directly clocked by the rubidium itself but from a clean ttl signal that has been made out of the LPRO's sine. There
