The present NC 185.299 KHz signal originates in a recently resurrected
Western Electric signal generator.  It has an 5 MHz ovenized reference
oscillator but has not been calibrated since 1989 per the last cal
sticker.  I just pulled it from the pile of dead test equipment I have
collected over the years and got it going.
