in the early 70s my employer supplied the microwave link between
<BR>Goldstone Tracking Station and JPL-Cal Tech in Pasadena. While
making a visit <BR>to oversee the alignment and testing of a 240 KB
data link (That was the <BR>state of the art at the time to cram a 1/4
megabit signal into a Super Group <BR>Channel) that provided the Deep
Space Probe links from Goldstone to JPL I <BR>heard the familiar drone
of WWV coming from one of the rows of equipment in <BR>the Goldstone
communications complex and was surprised to see the
<BR>Engineer/Technician taking a time hack from a trusty R390A receiver
tuned to 10 MHz. <BR>Although not an odd event, it did seem strange in
that every row of <BR>equipment in the room seemed to have an HP
Atomic clock literally ticking away <BR>the time on the little clock
the unit's face plate. So even in the presence <BR>of super
accurate time references, the old R390A was a hard habit to
<BR>break. <BR><BR>73<BR>Bob,
