I have an audio tape that I recorded of a prior leap second from the BBC World Service radio, and they do have seven pips. It's a nice combination of the old and new, starting with the Westminster Chimes, the pips, and finally the strike of Big Ben.
-- I've started "watching" the upcoming leap second by manually recording the time displayed on a digital clock at 08:00:00 Eastern Standard time each morning since December 1st. The clock is a Heathkit digital clock that I made in 1972 that counts the 60 Hz electric power frequency and I'm listening to WWV for the real time. The results are all over the place and I think the leap second will be lost in the clutter. I'll post results at the end of January. -- I've also arranged to have a friend videotape the display on two of my clocks during the leap second. I have a Ultralink WWVB clock and a Traconix WWV clock. Dennis O'Keefe New Paltz, New York, United States
