Unfortunately, this one is inaccurate.  It talks of impact to radio controlled "Atomic Clocks", but does not mention WWVB, only WWV and WWVH. David N1HAC On 8/24/18 3:51 PM, Adrian Godwin wrote: There seem to be 2 :

There's support in "over the air" ATSC digital TV signals for DST info, but most TV stations aren't known  for keeping their time information up to date.  There's a system time packet that has the GPS time, the number of seconds difference between GPS time and UTC (and a lot of stations don't

Hi I think there are a lot of ways to come up with a “local” WWVB signal that has all the DST stuff in it (or not if you prefer …). There’s not a lot of code or development involved. Even with the current shortage of parts, there are an ocean of dirt cheap MCU’s and boards to pick between.

I like Paul's idea, although there may be a risk of the LED's drive signal not being accurately timed. Driving that LED accurately may have had a low priority in the programmer's mind. This should be independently checked for critical applications. Dana On Fri, Aug 24, 2018 at 8:23 AM paul

[time-nuts] WWV, WWVB and Daylight Savings Time

2018-08-24 Thread Graham / KE9H
Currently, getting Daylight Savings Time status is easy using WWV or WWVB since they have bits in the protocol marking status for the US, and in the case of WWVB, impending change. If both the HF and LF signals go away due to the proposed budget cuts, what is the next simplest way (for something
