[time-nuts] Mertic for Comparing WWVB Loop Antennas?

[Bob Camp]

Hi

I suspect you will find that the winding technique does indeed matter in terms of how a good an antenna you get. There's more to it than coil Q.

I could just replace the old antenna with the new one, but would rather come up with some way to characterize the relative performance of them.  One way might be to count the transitions on the output of the C-Max chip for one minute.  Any thoughts?
