[time-nuts] strange carrier

[paul swed]

OK everyone. I am sorry I left my 60 Khz transmitter on in Boston. Good to
see its getting out to California. The antenna is a 90 foot tower.
I figured since the d-psk-r's been a long experiment I would just replace
wwvb with a constant phase no modulation Cs driven signal. Why fix the
problem? :-)
