HBG has been switched of earlier this year. So DCF77 and Alison are the
only time LF senders left in continental europe.

After the discussion here, i had a similar idea. I want to use the
STM32F4xx for something bigger and bought two discovery boards to get
used to them. But i didn't know what i want to do... it should be something
usefull.. at least half way usefull. And the discussion here prodded
me that i could do a SDR DCF77 with that. A 160MHz 32bit uC with hardware
single precision floatingpoint is way more than fast enough to handle that :-)

If i've time, i sketch the HW this weekend and build it as soon as i've
time... And then it's just software :-)
