[time-nuts] Making a Raspberry Pi NTP server without soldering

[paul swed]

David,
This is definity on my to build list. I have picked up the Pi already.
(Have had it for 9 months) Did fire it up and start the process. But the
wwvb d-psk-r is using up the free time.
I will get to this. So thank you for the posts appreciated greatly.
Regards
