I've also observed that JJY40 is now off the air. It has been excellent
reception down here in New Zealand for many years, generally better than
the JJY signal on 60kHz, where of course it competes with other signals.

JJY40 was typically strong enough to hear by ear during the day as well
as at night here, and fades considerably for an hour or two at sunrise
and sunset. There is some evidence that Japanese radio-controlled
('Atomic') clocks work in New Zealand using this signal, as there is no
closer source.
