[time-nuts] new longwave time service planned in India

Hi, Apparently India plans to build two longwave transmitters for a national time signal service: http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/coming-huge-towers-to-publicise-right-time/article23377284.ece No technical details such as frequency and modulation are given, nor whether the

[time-nuts] leap second too early on TDF timesignal

It seems France's TDF timesignal (phase modulation of a 162 kHz carrier, which until the end of 2016 also carried France Inter radio sound as amplitude modulation) inserted their leapsecond a minute early. Like MSF and DCF77, TDF transmits one bit per second, together composing the exact time at

On http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/fullday/ , one can see that the extra LORAN signal has been on the air roughly from 16:26 till 17:30 UTC: the waterfall clearly shows that the total received power around 100 kHz was higher during that time. One also sees that just _before_ the start of the
