Thanks, I didn't know that, having used European stations for decades.
Time to buy a rubidium based frequency standard (made in China of course) then
as that's both more precise and cheaper than a GPS based solution.


I doubt it's more precise than GPS, which uses several "atomic" clocks,
but cheaper it is.

Excellent article and good news that the dreaded +/- 45 deg phase shift will
disappear. As the signal here in Panama can be received as well, it means I can
use it in a design for a frequency standard adapted to a very low signal, based
on the same (rather successful) principle I used in Europe.
