[R-390] WWV kebelsa Frequency Standard

[William J. Neill]

Texas A&M Agricultural School runs a meat processing laboratory and  
as an adjunct to that, has a meat sales store open to the public  
(http://meat.tamu.edu/sales.html).

Various meat products are offered, polish sausage included and, in  
particular, a rather nice beef jerky.  I would like to suggest that  
the beef jerky, given that it is sold dried and has a prolonged shelf  
life, for lack of a  better term, could, if properly chopped and  
channeled, provide remarkably stable frequency standards, tunable  
with somewhat ancient tuning forks.  It does have a relatively low  
impedance if cut too thin.

Perhaps the only considerations necessary to placing such "units" in  
your receivers would be protecting them from cats and other critters  
given the odors the jerky would emit once the receiver(s) achieved  
full operation temperature.
