It could be 10 watts or as I suggest 100 or more. Depends on the range you
want to cover and what you can afford. Thats why the AM broadcast stations
are attractive, the infrastructure and power consumptions being taken care
of in the normal course of the business. Granted the CS ref and its power

Well its a funny thing actually. Looking at an amateur effort its not all
that hard at 1.6-7.0 Mhz to generate reasonable power of say 100-500 watts.
Certainly its not hard to create an exciter at those frequencies that are
derived from a quality reference. Heck many time nuts have CS references

It's called a beacon and at least the UK license does allow them (25W
maximum) and there are a great many out

There are places, like a lot thick with 100' pine trees, that satellites
are pretty much unusable. A tower is out of the question due to zoning.

Great idea, to receive the last cycles of the HBG... I'll try to do this. I
have an old Wandel&Goltermann SPM3 selective level meter to test the signal
level here.

Well I miss loran c and certainly will miss the LF stations though they are
cranky to get good readings from.
However the reality is that numbers of governments are sending up satellites
so there are alternate timing platforms. It was one thing when only GPS
existed.

Considering that GPS receivers are plentiful and provides similar or

Wow some old standards are going away. I have copied those in the US in the
past.
Looks like all of the LF stuff is going away.

I'm reading today the press release but on the 26th of August the
METAS (the Swiss federal office of metrology) decided to shutdown the
HBG time transmitter (located in Switzerland) by the end of the 2011.
Here in Europe the main reference for the radiocontrolled clocks is
the DFC77 station in Germ
