I also have a stratum 1 NTP server, it is on
44.13.151.3 (ntp.g1fef.ampr.org) and it is open to 44/8
It’s a Symmetricom S200 with Rubidium clock and GPS
and is located in the UK for anyone in Europe it would be better choice than the US based
clocks.
For people who want an easy stratum 1 server and don't have money for such gear, have
a look at the LeoNTP.
It is made by a UK radio amateur and it is a GPS locked NTP server in a very small
package.
It costs "only" 300 pounds (about $400). We have considered it for repeaters
but unfortunately it cannot
provide 10 MHz and 1PPS at the same time, which we do require.

I have a few stratum 1 NTP servers as it’s an interest of mine. A couple of them are
Raspberry Pi’s - for under £25 you can make yourself a stratum 1 NTP Server. The
performance, whilst not as good as my S200 with rubidium clock, is still quite
acceptable.

I recall a rather heated debate from a number of years ago that was
about whether a GPS-locked clock was a true stratum-1 or whether it
should be considered a stratum 1.5 or something like that because it
didn't really have direct access to an atomic clock. Of course NTP only
has integer values for the stratum so the argument was somewhat moot,
but it was somewhat thought-provoking "at the time".
In the US, the surplus equipment market occasionally had GPS-trained
oscillators that could provide 10Mhz and 1pps clocking as well as NMEA
output. They were parts of CDMA cellphone base stations, each of which
had at least two. The one I have was made by HP. I also have one that
is a Motorola device that was used to synchronize simulcast transmitters
in repeaters. Unfortunately, both of these devices draw more electricity
than I am willing to spend on running them, here in San Diego which has
the most expensive electric rates in the country.

Well, an rPi can be a Stratum1 if it uses the PPS output from the GPS clock imho. (and
from what I found on the net a few years ago)
If it does not use PPS output it cannot be a Stratum1 imho because the jitter will be too
high

I used a adafruit GPS module on a Olinuxino, the advantage being that it
has full fledged UART ports, so no GPIO is needed for PPS.
This is the main stratum 1 source for my network. It is available as
stratum 2 on yo2tm.ampr.org.

The unit I referenced has PPS. I plan to have a dedicated RPi running as
ntp server.
