[time-nuts] ABC time signals in Tasmania/Australia wrong

[Jim Palfreyman]

Just for clarification,

The ABC radio time pips used to be derived from a caesium clock at Telstra.
When that service was closed down, the ABC had to source their own time
signals. When that was done (a few years ago) I measured their new signals
and found them to be 70ms slow. I spoke to an ABC radio technician and he
was happy they were that close.

Now whilst I haven't measured these accurately this time, just listening to
them and comparing to my GPS derived time, they seem to be precisely a
second out.

What I'm interested in is if it's a local (i.e. Tasmanian) effect.

Can someone else in Australia please check them?

Regards,

Jim Palfreyman
