I was under the impression the Radio Four carrier (198kHz ex 200kHz) was the old "frequency standard of choice" in the UK, prior to GPS. I don't recall anyone using MSF for much other than "what time is it, to maybe the nearest second?". Though I do recall John Becker of EPE magazine did a nifty little millennium countdown clock using MSF as a base. -- Phil. phil...@philpem.me.uk http://www.philpem.me.uk/ _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
