At the request of my wife, I’ve started playing with the idea of writing a “book” for the purpose of educating hobbyist’s and EE’s spouses (or significant other), as well as kids. It’s point is to be very simple, not delve into the math at all (except ohm’s law, of course), and instead just explain basics of what we’re working on, what’s on our bench and parts bins, etc. The hope being that they could read through some basic information, and be able to have a basic concept of what we spend all our time doing, or when we explain a repair, they have some basic knowledge to use for understanding our language.
From my looking around, there isn’t really a good example of a “book” like this. A book about electronics, but not for someone that’s looking to learn electronics, but rather to relate to someone that’s interested in the field (if that makes sense). I’m guessing you’d call this a primer, or compendium to your significant other/spouse?
Anyway, I hope to work on it for the next few months, then open it up for edits/comments. Wish me luck!
A seller on eBay recently listed some FE-5680A Rubidium Oscillators for $30 + $10 shipping for parts repair, and I couldn’t pass up the chance to pick one up, especially when there’s so much info out there, and the wonderful FAQ 
While I don’t do a lot of RF electronics work, the idea of having a lab standard frequency has appealed to me for some time. Initially, I was drawn to a Rubidium (Rb) standard, which can be had off eBay for $100-$150 or so, but these units are used, and the life left in the lamp is obviously unknown. A Rb standard is accurate to about 1*10-11, or about one millihertz when they’re set to 10Mhz. Not too bad. A GPS oscillator, assuming well designed, should be about an order of magnitude greater, or 1*10-12 ((That said, the Rb standard on short term (a few seconds) will be more accurate, but longer term, the GPS will be much more stable)). Plus, a GPS oscillator shouldn’t really “age” like a Rb, so there should be no need to replace the unit after so many hours of running. Further, Rb standards run hot, and use a fair amount of power (I believe about 10W). But, they “lock” within about 2 minutes of powering on. GPS standards are generally going to take a bit longer than that to lock, if powered on cold (15 minutes or so from my readings), and obviously they also require vision of the sky, but, power consumption should be on the older of 500mW-1W when running, so my inclination would be to let the unit run 24/7, and as a bonus, use it as a time source for NTP.
