Time Nuts (2005)

In the pre-web 1990s Tom Clark set up a gps-timing mailing list at NASA for those interested in his pioneering work with the Motorola Oncore-series GPS receiver. That list was an inspirational example of one man freely sharing a wealth of experience and information with a group of interested GPS timing newbies. The list was specific to his home-brew TAC hardware (now TAC-2) and SHOWTIME software (now TAC32). The list moved to TACGPS and is still around but quiet (now hosted by TAPR).

However, there were other precise time & frequency topics not covered by tacgps. Over the years several of us — tvb, DougH, StanP, CorbyD, JohnA, BrookeC — were exchanging private emails that I thought deserved wider audience, participation, and archiving. So in 2001 time-nuts began. It was once cesium-nuts at Yahoo, then time-nuts here at LeapSecond.com, then John Ackermann graciously offered to administer and host it on his site so that's where it is today. [1] [2] [3] [4]
