Dare I ask what the point of the exercise was?
I've been meaning to build one of these since 1976, when a design appeared in Wireless World, as it then was.
I even went so far as to buy all the 74 series TTL logic to build the discrete version back in the 70s.
Never got around to building it though.
I've been playing with the receivers for the last 5 years or so (as a relief from the tedium of the summer vac etc.).
Having revisited the receiver design in September because the old version wasn't sensitive enough, I then though that I might as well write a PIC assembler program to decode & display the data.
Which is what I've done.
I've just (more or less) accomplished a 34 year project.

Though now I think about it, I have a shedload of nixie tubes that I bought for the display.
Maybe I should dig those out.
Then it'll be the ZeitGhostMSFNixieTubeClock(tm & patent pending, all rights reserved).Comment

I've even got some 7441 nixie tube drivers somewhere.
(Not in the same place as the nixie tubes of course, that would be far too sensible).Comment

I've put separators in now.
So instead of 1524041110 we now get 15:24 04/11/2010.
It's a great improvement.Comment
