Real time nuts run phase stable cable (some well over $50 / foot) in climate controlled ducts... which is all for nought unless you also climate control the antenna.    Which is all standard practice for precision geodesy.  Try to keep it all with a milli-Kelvin or two.  Oh, and don't forget about Lord Kelvin's sinister  step-sisters, humidity and pressure.  We won't get into all his second-order cousins.

Although not time nuts related I believe this document speaks to some of the practical issues...
