Peter:
Is my little blurb on GMT and the BBC (in http://gauss.gge.unb.ca/GMT.UT.and.the.RGO.html)
still more or less correct? Anything I should add/change? There are
a few statements in the article that I would like to tighten up and I
might as well get them all done at the same time.

Hi Richard,
Yes, BBC Radio 4 Long Wave on 198 KHz certainly did. David
Malone in Ireland grabbed the LF spectrum and sent a message to the
list at 13:25 (British Summer Time) on the 1st of July - his
spectrogram at
http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~dwmalone/time/leap2012/spectrogram.png
clearly shows the six short and seventh longer pips. Speaking to my
colleague in Broadcasting House who used to be their "Time Lord",
they
have a new system which is completely automatic, and designed to
correctly handle leap-seconds - and it seems to have worked - yippee!

Did any BBC radio station transmit the 7-pip Greenwich Time Signal
for the
leap second? I did check the iPlayer repeats from BBC Radios 1
through 5 but
it appears that these stations, at least via iPlayer, didn't use
it. Unlike
for the 2008 leap second when Radio 5 made a big deal about it.
