Very Low Frequency, VLF, 16kHz.

from Northwood in north London (the signal might go out from Rugby
though - I don't know the details).


The time standard, MSF, on 60kHz is the only signal transmitted from
the BT site at Rugby now. I think most of the masts have or are about
to be removed apart from the single MSF mast.

One of the 16kHz transmitter sites for subs etc was at Criggion, but
that has been closed and the masts removed. Take a peek at
