Hello Time Nuts,

I hope this isn't too off topic.

Can I please have some recommendations for a decent active or passive GPS
Antenna to add to the antenna farm that doesn't break the ole' piggy bank?

Thanks In Advance,
John Westmoreland

How "decent" do you want, John?  Here's my GPS antenna farm:

and I don't think any cost more than GBP 10.  Perhaps your requirements are 
more stringent than mine (I think all the PPS outputs from the connected 
receivers are within 0.1 microseconds).  I have a couple of "timing" 
antennas in the loft, but I can't see any difference between those and the 
magnetic pucks, for the precision level I need.

Cheers,
David
