Yes. The IAU made that plain 50 years ago when they published http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/leapsecs/note1964en.html because as seen in point 5, they insisted that radio time signals give UT. What's stunning to me is that this year the IAU working group on the redefinition of UTC quoted that in a response to the ITU-R request in WRC-15 Agenda Item 1.14, but the document from the working group was never forwarded to the ITU-R. So the IAU has refused to acknowledge its role in bringing about the current situation. -- Steve Allen <[email protected]> WGS-84 (GPS) UCO/Lick Observatory--ISB Natural Sciences II, Room 165 Lat +36.99855 1156 High Street Voice: +1 831 459 3046 Lng -122.06015 Santa Cruz, CA 95064 http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/ Hgt +250 m _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
