[Techno-Chat]: What Will You Do If WWVB Goes Silent? | Hackaday

2018-08-25 Thread Dane Trethowan
So what will you do?
I wonder just how many list members have time pieces that rely on this time 
synchronisation service?
I don’t think the good folks in Europe or Australia rely on WWVB but certainly 
its big in the US, the digital signal is broadcast on 60KHZ.
If WWV and WWVH fall silent as well then this will bring some difficulties to 
me too as I have quite a few time pieces here that rely on manual 
synchronisation with a time signal and the only accurate time signal we have 
left now as far as I know is WWV/WWVH on the Shortwave bands - 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 
20 and 25MHZ -.

[Techno-Chat]: A Technical Look at Digital Radio in Australia - What Is DAB+ and How Does It Work?

2018-08-25 Thread Dane Trethowan
Hi!
One of the most discussed topics on this list is Radio and the variants thereof 
which include Digital Audio Broadcasting - DAB and DAB+ amongst other methods -.
The following article details how the Australian system of DAB+ works and gives 
details about other DAB/DAB+ systems in Europe etc.
Thanks to Ian for passing this on, I found it a damn good read which furthered 
my knowledge of DAB/dAB+.
