If the two signals are not encoded identically, there should be an interesting signal when one of the transmitters is off and the other is on. Has anybody looked for that sort of pattern?

Hi If you look at the papers for the “new” WWVB format, there are plots of where the MSF issues are likely to be the greatest. Since both signals are phase and amplitude shifted by propagation effects, you will not get stationary nulls. You simply get zones where the reception is tough.

I have seen signs of that in my data in the shape of phase-shifts, and that sort of made me concentrate on DCF & LORAN. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
