As far as our "Time Pips" in New Zealand go, it didn't appear to be correct, right from the end of the last minute of the 2016 UTC year (Sunday 13:00 , local NZ Summer time). There should have been 7 pips (instead of the normal 6) as per: https://www.msl.irl.cri.nz/services/time-and-frequency however my audio recording of the "event" only has 6 pips. Just listening now at 11am (Mon 2nd Jan) the "Time Pips" on National Radio (like the US NPR ) are 1 second FAST, compared to my various GPS and Internet devices. So the Leap Second didn't leap as it should (time pip wise) here in NZ for 2017, and the "Time Pips" are still currently incorrect !
