Hi gang, There seem to be a lot of surplus GPS discliplined 10MHz OCXOs on eBay lately. Anyone here have experience using a setup like that? I'm still looking into getting my lab equipped, I'm looking into the frequency thing. Besides GPS, there's the national standards. The Canadian equivalent to WWV is CHU, they broadcast time signals on a few frequencies. Has anyone tried disciplining an OCXO to the carrier of these signals? The carrier is derived from an atomic clock, but atmospherics probably mean I'd have to average over a few days to get ~10-11 accuracy. I'm not finding a lot of information about CHU setups. I'm guessing a dipole in the backyard, some gain, and that's it?
