Subject: [time-nuts] Problems with CHU voice announcements

I do not know if anyone else noticed, but since sometime before 17:00 UTC, the 
voice announcements on the 7.850 MHz signal have been messed up. Some times the 
announcements are missing, other times they are incorrect. I have not checked 
the other frequencies. I was working in my shop and switched to CHU to stay 
aware of the time and noticed the discrepancies.

The voice announcement problem appeared to be fixed around 17:45 P.M.

Hi John, thanks for reporting this problem.  One of my colleagues is
heading out to CHU to look into it right now.

Hi

Not quite sure what happened to the original message before it got here …

The voice / time announcements on WWV and CHU date back quite a ways. I wonder 
just
how old the gear they currently are using is? Once upon a time it was done with 
a 
mechanical marvel of a device.

I meant to type 7.850 MHz, re-engaged brain.
