Shortwave Pirate Radio In North America And Around The World, And Other Signals That Go Bump In The Night
We seek to understand and document all radio transmissions, legal and otherwise, as part of the radio listening hobby. We do not encourage any radio operations contrary to regulations.
Always consult with the appropriate authorities if you have questions concerning what is permissible in your locale.
Actually, I had my wwvb ("atomic clock") receiver connected to my ntp server back on Red Hat 7 in the early 2000s. I had to tweak the driver of what turned out to be an identical receiver designed to be used with the British equivalent to wwvb (I think it was called MSF). If I recall, it was just 1 or 2 lines of code that needed changing. The code was a bit messy and could have used some cleanup. But, it worked. I don't remember the driver name. You'd have to pull the latest release to see if it was still in there.
Also, the wwvb clock I had was the only model that I could find at the time that had a serial output. I don't know if there is anything available these days with a digital output. You might be able to find a CMMR-6 module (maybe from an old atomic clock?) to roll your own. But, programming a commercially available SDR might be easier.

update:
I just found a wwvb receiver module on e-bay. Model number WVB-0860N-03A. It might make an interesting project!

« Last post by skeezix on Today at 04:24 »I haven't posted in a while as there have been no decodes. While propagation has been tough and thunderstorm season is now starting, even during the sufficient days, there have been no decodes.
I've been decoding every day and nothing comes up. Not even from Panama... but they're off the side of the loop (-30 db down), so I don't blame them too much. I think the Canadians have finally shut off their transmitters, or decreased power.

Music Gutiarist sorry to say I am not sure who, Satriani?
Signal is S9+10 with heavy static crashes because of local storms.
In Minneapolis, MN
Using RSP1A SDR Console and OCF 40-meter dipole.
Thank you for the broadcast.
