For some years (certainly when I built my receiver 12 years ago),

dropped the fastcode transmission.

I didn't notice it, although there are some gaps during the minute. I
supervised a student's hardware/software project last year and part of
it was to design and build a clock peripheral for a PC...had a lot of
trouble in a reinforced concrete building.
