[time-nuts] The Best way to Mark the New Year...

[David J Taylor]

From: Hal Murray

Maybe next year we should see how much delay data we can collect.  That's in
addition or instead of collecting leap second data.  The usual ball drops at
local midnight so you have the time-zone offset to separate collecting
leap-second data and midnight-TV delay data.
=============================

Although I've not checked it accurately, the timing clock on Formula-1 races 
seem pretty accurate. and I've seen delays of between 8 and 10 seconds when 
watching on Sky TV (satellite).  That may also provide some useful data 
points without having to wait 365 days!  Any other sources of accurate data? 
I note that since "digital", we no longer get a station clock at least on 
the channels I watch - and program start times are notoriously variable!
