Thanks.
Although I do appreciate what the context conveys, I did smile when I
noticed that the last slide mentions "GPS time" but ends with
"Only UTC can be disseminated".
I don't know if GPS or POSIX time is the most diseeminated timescale,
but I suspect they both beat UTC by an order of magnitude when it comes
to number of receivers...
Almost every GPS receiver also applies the UTC corrections to produce a
UTC time. Infact, many of them can't externally produce any other time
than UTC. Some has the ability to deliver GPS time or UTC time. Only a
fraction of the receivers made only use GPS time, but then for some
specific use.
So it is UTC and not GPS you should compare.
Cheers,
Magnus
