So far the existence of such equipment in contemporary power grids is not really proven, is it ? I know they try to hold the frequency and that they use UTC in various forms for that, but not phase is not linked to UTC in the sense that a synchronous clock would "loose" the leapsecond at some point in the future. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
