[time-nuts] Up And Running

[Bill Hawkins]

Not sure it's a good idea to seal the antenna in a plastic box.
Must get hot in there. And mounting it under a big Yagi?

I considered using a puck antenna and protecting it with a
black plastic conical cap that is used to keep seagulls off
the top of dock pilings. Air could circulate under the cap.
Tested the cap in a microwave oven, stayed cool. Didn't use
it, though, got a HP conical outdoor antenna instead.

Why would you want to attenuate the precision of the time
signal by 6 db? The caption says, "Precision Attenuator." :-)
