[time-nuts] Characterization of Oscillator w/ HP5345a

[Brian Kirby]

Does your employer offer medical insurance ?  Please check to see if 
they cover psychiatric care.  Time-Nuts are more addictive than crack, 
plus they all have obsessive compulsive disorders.  Please seek medical 
treatment before its two late.

Next thing you know, you'll end up with several crystal oscillators, a 
few rubidiums, maybe a cesium, and if your willing to let you family 
obligations go, a Hydrogen Maser.

To start, you'll want a GPSDO, so you will have a reference of some sort 
to UTC.  Rubidiums are cheap, some at the $100 level on flea-bay, build 
a case, power supply and your ready to go.
