[time-nuts] Why a 10MHz sinewave output?

Hi

Thank goodness for that inertia. I can still cable up a 100Kcps sine wave
standard to run stuff from "long ago". When I run into a box that uses a T1
signal for a clock reference - not so easy in the basement.

Which is my point, the power of tradition can sometimes be stronger than 
logical reasoning for the application needs. Today many of the 
oscillators can be had in one or more of CMOS/Clipped-Sine/Sine outputs.

Cheers,
