I don't think the ITU does any actual dissemination. They don't run any servers or radio transmitters. I picture the ITU as a level higher than that. They coordinate things like "We all agree to use leap seconds and BIPM will figure out when they happen." -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com https://pairlist6.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
