During the leap second, I recorded 6 parts of the radio spectrum, containing a few time and frequency stations, and a lot of AM broadcast stations. An analysis of these recordings is now here: http://wwwhome.cs.utwente.nl/~ptdeboer/ham/sdr/leapsecond-2008.html
Out of 33 long- and mediumwave broadcasters that transmitted some sort of time signal (e.g., a few 1 kHz beeps near the top of the hour), only 17 got the leap second right. In fact, it turned out that several of the signals are not just off by the leapsecond, but by several seconds more. Also, many are off by a fraction of a second, presumably due to delays between the studio and the transmitter, e.g. via a satellite link.
