GPSDO Comparison - Never Happened?

I remember a while back a discussion about people contributing their various
GPSDOs to someone who could do some proper (and hopefully unbiased) tests
and comparisons. Did I totally miss out, or did the idea just die?

The reason I mention this is I recently had to move my office for a few
months and I don't have any GPS access, hence all my GPSDOs' and accessories
are sitting in storage until I move back.

I think it would be really interesting to see how some of the various
products compare (that's assuming someone like Tom doesn't already own every
last time piece known to man - yet). :)

Quite a few people responded and have sent me GPSDO
already. What I haven't done is finished testing all those
that I planned and put the results into a summary web page.

Ah ha, they might as well join the lot here then. Send me
email offline about loan logistics.

I'm currently going through the large group-buy batch of
Trimble Thunderbolts but I have time&space for a few more
now that summer is over.
