Hello time enthusiasts! I'm hoping for your advice on my (perhaps modest, by
this list's standards) project.
I would like to make a frequency calibration of a 10 MHz oscillator to 1 ppm
(1E-6) or better, using some basic equipment. I do not have a GPSDO or any
serious lab equipment, or budget for same as this is just a personal project.
What I do have access to:
I did a piece of software to provide calibration to equipment-deficient
microcontroller-hobbyist frequency counter builders (think 100ppm
crystal from the bin) over ntp:

Depending on how you are connected, 0.1ppm is quite doable. Measure,
adjust, measure 3 times to verify.
When you decide that this is too cumbersome and buy a GPS with pps
output, you could make it self-adjusting:
