Hi,



As apparently WWV doesn't transmit up that high in freq., what are some

good "freq. standard" signals to use for calibration in the vhf/uhf ranges ?



Thanks,

What could be used as frequency standard "plucked from VHF" is the TV line

frequency.

I'm not sure if like in Europe, all TV stations in the US would be equally

useful but if you enter this search string in Google

"Calibration of high precision oscillators using the TV line frequency as a

you get several links that suggest it might be the case.

During the analog TV days maybe it was possible, but not now. I doubt if it could be done now at all...at least in the US. Best frequency standards are at low frequencies,such as 60KHz or even lower.
