There is a thread on http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/FMT-nuts/ with many observations of WWV reporting the wrong time. Here is a clip of just one of them:
> FYI, > > I tuned into WWV this evening (August 19, 2012 UTC), and was surprised to hear > the station making some incorrect audio time announcements. > > Specifically, > > 23:20 UTC was announced as 23:28 with no audio tone > 23:23 UTC was announced as 23:29 with an audio tone > 23:25 UTC was announced as 23:29 with an audio tone > 23:26 UTC was announced as 23:29 with an audio tone > 23:27 UTC was announced as 23:29 with an audio tone > 23:28 UTC was announced as 23:28 with an audio tone > 23:29 UTC was announced as 23:29 but was followed by station ID > 23:30 UTC was announced as 23:30 with an audio tone (no ID) > 23:32 UTC was announced as 23:35 with an audio tone > 23:44 UTC was announced as 23:49 with no audio tone > 23:57 UTC was announced as 23:59 with no audio tone > 23:58 UTC was announced as 23:59 with no audio tone > > I did not take notice as to whether the audio tones being transmitted were the > correct ones for the particular minute, but some of the silent periods and the > timing of the station ID appeared to be out of character. > > I notified NIST of these unusual observations. > > > 73, de John, KD2BD I was able to verify this by listening to WWV and comparing the time announcements with my GPS-DO. The time was not consistently announced wrong -- just every few minutes (like above). I am sorry I didn't keep a better log of the exact time and frequency where I heard this. I just assumed that since so many guys were reporting the same thing that the WWV staff would know about it. I was surprised when they didn't.
