From what I remember from a tour many years ago, the local clock was
some how synced to the master at the lab.
If for some reason they lost sync then the transmitters were dropped. I
was told at that time that transmitting no time is better than
transmitting a bad time.

CHU is Canada's time broadcast station, similar to MSF, but intended to be
received by a shortwave AM receiver and has voice announcements intended for
the general public in addition to coded time information. Details below:

Yes and no. More akin to WWV in that it transmits on HF (MSF is only
60 kHz like WWVB, yes?)
Glad it is back ... according to their web site all three signals went back up
at 14:45 UTC yesterday. Since all three transmitters went offline and back
online at the same time I wonder if it was a case of utility power being
restored? Presumably the cesium clocks have backup power, but
Excuse my ignorance but what is CHU ??? Is it like MSF ??
