How to add a monitoring station to the pool project?

1

Hello there,

I’m here to ask about monitoring stations… I have a stratum 1 timeserver and a stratum 2 timeserver.

The first one is synced to UTC(LRTE) timescale by 1 PPS and we’ve removed the on-board crystal oscillator of a tinkerboard and replaced it with a synthesized signal that comes from the timescale too.

The second one is my desk running as stratum 2, one i5 that is synced to the stratum 1 (minpoll and maxpoll of chrony set to zero, requesting time every second).

The things that i’m here to ask are:
1 - How one of this can be a monitoring station for south america? It is viable? I know the pool need more monitoring stations, or not?

2 - How to do this if this is a good thing to do?

Luiz =D

Recruited before, but current progress unknown.

So, for now we can’t do that? Right?

Thank you for reply

Any news about that? I think will be really good to add one monitor station in Brazil (I’m running servers in the university and they all are getting their signals from UTC(LRTE) timescale. I have a computer that i’ve removed the crystal oscillator and inputs a 24 MHz signal for the base clock that is already done for the work, but now i have a doubt: is better to try this (monitor station -> the computer has 7th generation I5 7400 CPU and 8 GB RAM) or another high performance chrony stratum 1 server?

These are the two servers that i mention:
