Topics include stability of quartz oscillators, measurements of rubidium and cesium atomic clocks, using WWVB, Loran-C, and GPS for long-term comparisons. </quote> So maybe these dedicated time keepers who employ technology not listed above should not qualify. I don't see Lecher lines, tuning forks or sun dials there :-) Anyway, how do you compute the Allan Deviation of a sun dial?
