Re: [LEAPSECS] private smear goes public

Hello Brooks, Stephen; What's all this discussion about precision? The smear has tossed the precision of the second SI out the window. This is totally unacceptable for an application that requires a precise and stable frequency reference (telecommunications and broadcast for example).
