WWVB receiver advice

Hi

Look very carefully at the core materials. Some are designed for power applications where tight stability specs are not at all common. For filters, you need a material that has good temperature stability *and* adequate Q *and* can be wound without going nuts.

In some cases, wonderful stuff like Litz wire comes into the mix as well.

Ah! Apologies.

Here in the UK we have similar and the easiest solution is an off the shelf module...

e.g.

but actually the MSF60 signal here is difficult to receive especially around computer equipment, the DCF77 signal from Germany is better.

However, if you have line of sight to the sky GPS is far easier.
