I have a CSI MBX-3 DGPS beacon receiver that I have been playing around with lately. It works quite well and I have a very basic shell of a program written in python to control it and get some basic performance details of it's MF receiver but so far still trying to get anything out of the binary RTCM data stream.

At the least I will be able to collect beacon signal strength and SNR. Of course the data shows the expected diurnal variation. At the very least I will be able to monitor this aspect of the effect of eclipse before, during, and after.

I would like to be able to extract the data within binary data stream and am slowly working my way the RTKLIB apps in an effort to do so. My objective is peripherally related to time nuttery but more so directed towards radio propagation and space weather.

If anyone has already gone down this path, please point me in the right direction.

There is an interesting project run through the University of New Brunswick called CHAIN - Canadian High Arctic Ionospheric Network. CHAIN uses high data rate GNSS Ionospheric Scintillation and Total electron content monitors plus advanced digital ionosondes to collect their data.

Hi:

There's a massive experiment relating to the strength of WWVB and a
transmitter in Dixon California.

This article says Dixon may transmit at 55.1 and 135.95 kHz.

The EclipseMob receiver works with a smart phone acting as an SDR. as well
as the source of it's position and the date-time of observation.

There is a parallel study based on ham radio WSPRNet and Reverse Beacon
Network.

Is there a study based on GPS observations?
