Hi Jim,


In Sydney, many months ago, the ABC time signals were absent.
I rang them and the technician explained that they use a PC program to
produce them, and they had to reboot the computer to start them up  
again.
So I dont know where they get the time, either off the net? or from a  
PPS signal
from a GPS?
Either way they do not use the old observatory signals that came from  
the PMG.

A local TV station counting down to the new year was 5 seconds out!

cheers, Neville Michie
