like they are paying for a cheaper service and now getting it.
(Gareth Foster-UK, BrDXC-UK June 23)
Please note that the MSF 60 kHz time and frequency signal broadcast from
Anthorn Radio Station will be shut down during the period:
From 09:00 BST, Tuesday 26 June 2007
until 18:00 BST, Wednesday 27 June 2007.
The interruption to the transmission is required to allow maintenance work
to be carried out in safety. The service will remain off-air overnight.
[Thanks for this Gareth. 36 hours for maintenance! It doesn't say whether
this is 'emergency' or 'planned', but as you say, it never used to happen
with Rugby. I'll see if my brother can find anything out about this. He
works for the DTI at Teddington, who ultimately own NPL, though all the
science work including the time standard is currently carried out under
contract by Serco, who in turn took their contract for MSF from BT to VT
(I think). Things never used to be this complicated!- Mark, moderator ]
