If I could suggest a shorter and perhaps simpler solution. Rather than reinventing the wheel, simply insert each value as read into a SQL database engine, there are numerous free ones available, i.e. MySQL or Postgresql. You could include a timestamp either with your code or the system can

Even if you can build a perfect receiver I don't see how you can get around the variable path length issue short of averaging WWVB for days or weeks. -John Now you see I like these up to date solutions with cheap components. I recently home brewed YAGPSDO yet another GPSDO,

That is pretty much the way that it has always been done. I just assumed that that was a given. Greg On 3/29/2011 8:13 AM, J. Forster wrote: Even if you can build a perfect receiver I don't see how you can get around the variable path length issue short of averaging WWVB for days or weeks.

Yes, your idea is very nice. So, many basement engineers have not moved into the world of programmable DSP concepts, missing some basic breadboard circuit and some example demonstration software to try out. Perhaps your idea would be the perfect tool to inspire and learn from. The general nature
