Re: [time-nuts] Ticking Toward a Nuclear Clock

8.1 eV or 153 nm is in the vacuum ultraviolet. You might want to buy a little stock in KM labs at https://www.kmlabs.com/news-and-events/hyperion-vuv-talk . I had no idea that lasers like that were possible. Such atomic clocks should be able to see 1 mm difference in altitude between them. On

Re: [time-nuts] OCXO and fluctuations after EFC adjustment

Unwind a foot or so of wire and measure the resistance to figure the wire size. If possible, then unwind the entire choke to find its proper resistance. This will determine the original value from the inductor data sheet. If not calculate the resistance from the volume of the winding. On

Re: [time-nuts] WWV Doppler Shift

2018-11-20 Thread Donald E. Pauly
That was the first time that I had seen an xy plot of WWV versus a stable crystal oscillator. It is even worse than I thought. I had to look up FRK to see that it is a rubidium standard. I talked to Jim Maxton the chief engineer of WWVB many times around 1995. At the time I was in Gila Bend 80

[time-nuts] WWV Doppler Shift

2018-11-19 Thread Donald E. Pauly
HF propagation of WWV or WWVH is horrible compared to VLF propagation of WWVB at 60 kc. In this video the 5 mc WWV signal from Ft Collins, Colorado is being received in New Jersey. It was compared against a stable 5mc crystal source. You can see a shift of a few cycles per second over a few

[time-nuts] Navy Time and Frequency Distribution History (HP5062C)

2018-10-26 Thread Donald E. Pauly
A search for the Navy designation O-1695A/U for the HP5062C cesium clock leads to an interesting webpage for the history of Navy time dissemination, http://www.navy-radio.com/freq-equip.htm . It claims that the service manual for it is 0969-LP-171-6020 . That manual could not be found on line.
