Calibration with frequency counter

[Jon Kåre Hellan]

Zero beating WWV isn't so easy here in Norway, so I visited a friend who has a
frequency counter. Turned out that the signal level at J1 of the reference
oscillator was way too low for his counter.

The manual should probably tell how sensitive the frequency counter has to be
for that procedure to work.

Jon,

Try zerobeating against a Russian time signal station (forgot the
callsign). Good working frequencies for calibration are 4996 and 9996.
Nice strong and steady signals.
