Yup. Hence analogue time pips are ahead of their digital counterparts.


ITWYM is digital is behind analogue.

There is more delay between your loudspeaker and ear when listening to
pips than over an entire analogue chain. That isn't instantaneous, but

It used to be said that the GTS emanating from Droitwich is accurate when
heard on a receiver 100 miles away.


Back at Broadcasting House, London, was the criterion - yes about 100 miles

As luck would have it I live precisely that distance away as the RF flies.
