A little off topic but hope you can help. The fan quit in my HP 8642a signal generator. Anyone have a schematic or any advise. The fan is curiously embedded in the chassis. I think it will take a '"fan ectomy" to get it out. Was planning to use it on the FMT. I could lay another fan

Hello, Hope the New Year is going well. I recently got the above antenna to use on another receiver, but no data. Does anyone have a description of the interface? Is it just a simple ferrite antenna, or does it have a preamp and need bias, or "other" ? Any info

Re: [time-nuts] TrueTime A-60FS antenna Data Needed

Hi Norman, Yes it is a VLF antenna for WWVB. I get pretty good reception at this distance and things lock up pretty quickly. It is odd- this antenna is very broad banded, which is unusual for a ferrite antenna. I am going to look into it more. Thanks for the help. Doug
