[ntp:questions] MSF Anthorn, UK down
It looks like the UK MSF 60 KHz signal from Anthorn is down. I've seen one report that a clock stopped at 00:04 this morning (but I don't know whether that was UTC or UTC+01:00). http://www.npl.co.uk/science-technology/time-frequency/products-and-services/time/msf-radio-time-signal No confirmation elsewhere. We did have thunderstorms overnight so perhaps the antenna or power supply was hit... -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu ___ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions

Thanks for that confirmation, David. It seems to still be down at 06:22 UTC this morning, so it must be serious! Today is a holiday in the UK, so what chance of it being repaired? I thought it bad that there was no status available from NPL, and I haven't even looked for a URL to report a problem. Not that anyone would be in to monitor reports -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu ___ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions

Still down at 09:05 UTC Tuesday. The lack of information is underwhelming! -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu ___ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions

Hello! Why have such important service no backup transmitter/antenna like DCF77?

Whereas DCF77 might have a backup transmitter (I don't know), I observe DCF77 being down very often, albeit for short durations (5-10 mins). When I do receive it the signal is strong, so I don't think my observations are due to being too far away (I'm in Northern Belgium). Morale: don't put all your eggs in one basket. ___ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions

Hi Mostly too weak in Lancashire UK but at least it has a very accurate phase shift seconds marker. MSF and GPS for me have occasional blackouts, ISTR inversion layer effects used to be common in this area but apparently it's now unknown. MSF was ok as fallback on rare occasions when internet was down. David ___ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
