When I worked in radio, we, too, used a delay system. But the way they work is
when the top of the hour approaches, the presenter makes allowance for the
delay by terminating the last caller about 20 seconds to the top of the hour,
or there about. Then they just gradually fade the delay as they
I’ve ever ever taken any notice of a time signal broadcast from an Internet
Radio stream or DAB stream if it comes to that,, I’m a halfwit I know but not
quite as bad as all that yet .
Regarding delayed time signals? I agree with you, you either transmit them on
time at the top of the hour or
The atomic clock is used by most commercial and broadcast services over here.
One of the frequencies is, as I said earlier, 10.0 MHz, but it does sometimes
drift a few HTz for whatever reason. It is, however, reliable in the extreme.
As I said earlier, there are some extremely accurate methods
As far as time signal services go in Australia we still have the ABC however
this time signal at the top of the hour is not reliable.
Some stations and transmitters in Australia don’t even broadcast the signal
whilst some that do are out of sync due to the fact that the transmitter takes
a
In the UK, we’re fortunate to have several of these synchronisation stations,
based on the Atomic Clock at Greenwich. One of the most widely used in terms of
analogue signals is the beacon which broadcasts on 10.0 MHz using Carrier Wave,
(CW) and which has been broadcasting for I don’t know how
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
