G'day David,

Have you given any consideration on a GPS based timing frequency standard?

I looked into this as well and came to the conclusion that the use of a GPS 
based frequency standard is the best solution for my needs. These are 
advertised on eBay from time to time and are mostly pulls from decommissioned 
digital radio networks such as CDMA.
