[time-nuts] WWVB sync

2013-03-20 Thread Lee Reynolds
I'm hoping it's propagation (I'm up in far northern Maine) but thus far my Casio wristwatch appears to be going through a particularly long stretch of non-syncing. ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to

as young Nigel said, Marconi (for one) made use of these things. I recall a Marconi HR-22 that had a number of these installed for spot frequency channel reception. Lee ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to

[time-nuts] RADAR

2010-12-20 Thread Lee Reynolds
Hm, I suspect, Rob, much though it might distress national pride, that RADAR a la WWII has probably to qualify as an Anglo American product. The Cousins did, after all, send us those nice klystrons they managed to get up and running. Would've been a bugger to do it without those. Mind you,
