It would be interesting to know how many people are using MSF/DCF77/WWV/etc for high-precision work in preference to GPS. In the case of MSF, I'd be slightly sceptical, given that it was moved from Rugby to Anthorn on a daily basis during the cut-over, which is at least a millisecond's difference as seen from most UK population centres, without any protest. ian _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
