Incidentally, I'm building my own 10MHz GPSDO for running my test
eqipment and ham junk. It's NOT a trivial or inexpensive exercise:
A while back (I think it was) EPE magazine (or might have been Elektor)
published a GPS frequency standard generator projects.
There are plans all over the internet. Almost all of them use the
Rockwell Jupiter board, which has a convenient 10KHz output. That
would normal be the way to go, except that I have a large pile of
Novatel Allstar 12 boards, which have 1Hz and 10Hz outputs. That
makes the design somewhat more complicated.
Its available as a kit, so although not particularly cheap it is fairly
easy.
Complete GPSDO modules can be found for about $300.

I'm building mine much the same way, with integrated antenna, etc.
The 1pps output can be used to run a digital clock, but I would hate
to see the final cost.
