Hello Dana
The prototype system I built used an E1 digital telephony card with 30
lines. I think it cost about $12000/year to lease the associated 2
megabits per second data capacity but we didn't do that; we just
commandeered a few lines from our site's capacity.
I believe the live system needed

The electro-mechanical-optical clock
Hi All,
I have the Tasmanian unit of the German made TTL based speaking clock
running in my garage. I've kept it going since it was decommissioned in the
mid 2000s. In true Time-Nuts fashion I have it synchronised to the GPS.
For extra fun, I broadcast it on FM 107.7 using a (legal) low power
"Alexa, what time is it?"

I designed the hardware and wrote the software for the now defunct
Australian speaking clock.
The prototype pieced together the audio from fragments and it did
indeed take quite a bit of effort to get this to sound clean.
Mismatches in sound levels at the boundaries caused 'pops', for
example. I
