That's an interesting document, thanks for the link. For what it's worth, despite the changes to WWWB there is at least one Spectracom 8164 still running as originally intended, well, sort of:-) I have an 8164 in the UK that will run quite happily from MSF, although I must admit to keeping it more for nostalgic reasons these days just because I like it:-)
John Ackermann has some interesting observations on the 8164..... https://www.febo.com/time-freq/wwvb/spectracom/index.html https://www.febo.com/time-freq/wwvb/spectracom/efc.html Nigel GM8PZR Perhaps this has been mention before, but I found the following documentwhile researching some details on WWVB and thought it might interest the group: https://www.kevincroissant.com/WWVB/WWVB_PTTI_2018.pdf I know that Spectracom once made a WWVB Disciplined Oscillator in the form of the Model 8164, but I figured that this approach probably was obsolete in the era of GPS and network-based time. However, the author seems to have produced some interesting results. Has anyone else built, or tried to build a WWVB Disciplined Oscillator?
