Greenwich Mean Time.

[KAZ12MAR12]

Does any forum member have any "Concrete Knowledge" as to where to find the TRUE TIME on the wireless? Would it be the GMT Time signal on the R4 broadcast on long wave, or R4 broadcast on VHF, or that broadcast on DAB or even digital TV ?? What ever happened to the lady on "TIM"?
Ever since my time in the Royal Air Force (Where I was fortunate enough to serve for six years in Malta and then Cyprus and be entitled to duty free goods.) I have owned a Rolex Explorer and have been a stickler for not being late!
My Roberts model CR9910 is usually reasonably accurate to the minute as it receives the "Daventry Time Signal" and corrects itself every hour or after a power interruption.

Hi,

I don't know if this will help John but I set our clocks to it;

Wow!!
Thanks to both Col and Jamie I hope my obsession with time isn't a result of being BELLOWED at by NCOs in the forces!?!
Cheers

There are various time signals on SW - I'll dig out some frequencies if I can.

Generally just a beep every second, with a longer beep and a burst of data every minute.

My cheapish Casio watch synchronises itself to the MSF signal (now broadcast from Anthorn in Cumbria rather than Rugby) every night.

Nothing but an atomic clock will do!
