Scientific paper

Nature's most stable clocks are the millisecond pulsars, astonishing objects which permit tests of General Relativity and the establishment of reference frames. Since their discovery in 1981, astronomers have developed more and more accurate means of timing them. In this lecture I will discuss techniques that optimise precision timing and contrast various efforts around the world and recent highlights. I will also examine the minimum specifications required to conduct precision timing campaigns, and the prospects for future instruments such as the eVLA, ASKAP, MeerKAT and the SKA, and how to beat radio frequency interference.
