Another analogy is that if you had a machine that recorded all the signals,
mounted right at the antenna, and then carried the recording half way around
the world, and then ran the recording into a receiver, it would give you the
position of the antenna, not the receiver. The cable is just a time delay.
Does this mean that while the antenna feedline cable length does not influence
the measured position (at the phase center of the antenna), and it does not
influence the accuracy of a disciplined frequency reference output, it does
introduce an error into the absolute time output (i.e., adding a delay to the
PPS output)?
In other words, do I correctly assume that I may safely ignore the length of my
TBolt's antenna feedline if I am only interested in its 10 MHz OCXO output, but
I may want to compensate for it if I ever find a need to use its PPS output as
an absolute time marker?
