Local stratum 1 GPS NTP time server, yay!

Now to see how it copes with sun and rain. The bag is an extra precaution. Tracking 36 satellites and using 19, over three networks.

Current PPS tracking with σ=16ns

Current jitter measured at FireBrick (NTP client) of 0.08ms, and latency of 0.7ms. Selected over any pool (via Internet) servers, understandably.

@revk Oooh - would this be good as a time source, rather than relying on someone else's time servers?!

@neil @revk he's still using someone else's time servers 🤭

@neil @revk You're still relying on GPS time. Granted, that would cause more disruption if it were messed with than pool.ntp.org going away.

@neil @revk It's a bit of overkill, but yes. You could probably use an old phone as a time source much more easily.
