[time-nuts] Datum 2100L "issues"

[Stan, W1LE]

Hello Mark,

Seems to want to work.

How about a better antenna ?   or another antenna ?   or one outside ?
How about a different antenna position, vertically and laterally ?
How about a lower feed line loss ?
Possibly a line amp like the Symmetricom/HP 1 X 2 or 1 x 4 RF distro amp.
