[time-nuts] Improving on basic L1 timing

[Bob Camp]

Hi

With some searching and dedicated bidding, you can find older L1/L2 GPS 
gear fairly cheaply. It may take a year or two of bidding to get something you
can use….That gets you back to the issue of “am I fiddling around waiting 
to do something or doing it”.
