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.

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 maybe they can't keep the transmitters on for extended periods with on site generation. Must have been some storm to affect that area, Hydro Quebec reports that 2% of customers still offline from that event! - Joe Fitzgerald KM1P _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@lists.febo.com To unsubscribe send an email to time-nuts-le...@lists.febo.com
