Tom,

Agreed. We've given this some thought and I've polled people in the past. The issue is usually location and budgets so nothing has ever happened. Note that besides the NIST conference there are several other venues where time nuts are frequently spotted:
- Dayton hamvention (I've never been, but I know many others have).
- PTTI (I try to go every year).
- FCS, ION GPS, NAWCC (I attend if they're close enough).

But even knowing that I am a bit overwhelmed after personally meeting several Time Nuts.  Of coure this is common knowledge to may of you long time members. That said the chance to get to know Magnus, David, John, and locals Hank and Skip has left me thinking.....

If the time I have spent with Magnus and the other visiting Time-Nuts is any indication I  think a Time-Nuts gathering would quickly develop into the must attend event for people serious about time but the fantastic people researching it. I see this evolving not only a social gathering, but also a place for professions and amateurs to could showcase ideas and products.
