[time-nuts] Re: CHU transmitters off air for a while

[Joseph B. Fitzgerald]

Glad it is back ... according to their web site all three signals went back up at 14:45 UTC yesterday.   Since all three transmitters went offline and back online at the same time I wonder if it was a case of utility power being restored?  Presumably the cesium clocks have backup power, but maybe they can't keep the transmitters on for extended periods with on site generation.  Must have been some storm to affect that area, Hydro Quebec reports that 2% of customers still offline from that event!
