Default (OT?) 60kHz MSF Radio time signal

Malcolm Stewart wrote:
For quite a few years I've had reliable time around my home based on
domestic clocks using the Rugby 60kHz MSF transmitter. Last April the MSF
transmitter was moved to Cumbria, and since then I've noticed glitches in
the delivery of accurate time. e.g. This morning my lounge clock was
precisely1 hour ahead of correct time, and a few weeks ago only the seconds
figure was running correctly. A relative in the Huntingdon area has also
reported problems. (And we're not living in electrically screened
buildings - just normal bricks and mortar houses)

Just wondering how others are getting on? (Direct me if there's a better
newsgroup for this ...)


I have two radio clocks. The digital one seems to be better since the
change despite being in London it doesn't loose the signal (though I
have just noticed it has lost the signal today for the first time in
many months. On the other hand the analogue clock always seems to reset
itself around 01:10 each night. Cheap enough from TLC that as the
Chinese manufacturer doesn't seem to understand the difference between
centigrade and Fahrenheit scaling very well, I supposed the erratic time
signal synchronisation was another misfeature.
