Method summary

TS-950SDX (10 kHz sync) + home-made GPSDO, Spectrum Lab & Virtins Multi-Instrument, 3-el SteppIR Yagi. Doppler correction of -0.25 Hz to the measured value

Method summary

Recorded audio from FT-710 with GPSDO freq reference 500Hz above received signal on SSB upper w/recv tuned to 14052000. GPSDO was not used for PPS measurement. That was done by tuning to CHU Canada time reference before stopping the recording. There was significant fading and QRM during the test. The received signal was deep in the noise and extracted using MATLAB tools for filtering and observing the time signal. Thank you for the test. Learned a lot!

Method details — G4BVE

Method summary

Frequency: RSPDx GPS locked. SpectrumLab on PC. Pulse width: Oscilloscope. UTC offset: RSPdx latency calibrated by generating GPS locked pulses with the Siglent SDG1062X and delay measured on oscilloscope. No doppler correction applied.
