The law has passed folketinget on 2023-03-14 and is in effect since Sunday 
night: We all survived the unusual 25.46 ms discontinuity in the legal time 
scale,  (obscured by the additional 3600 s jump due to daylight-saving time) 
with just the normal jet-lag feelings.

Given the above occasion, I now proudly present DFM's shiny new NTP / NTS 
server to this honorable community here, which will be serving UTC(DFM) time 
with a source accuracy of << 1 µs, dwarfed by the usual internet link 
asymmetries to wherever you all are located.

The server can be reached  both for NTP and  NTS at

time.dfm.dk 

(e. g. by adding 
server time.dfm.dk nts iburst 
to your chrony-configuration). An official announcement  will be following during 
the next few days when our webpage is ready. Also, don't be alarmed if the NTS 
key changes during the following days.

For PTP access to UTC(DFM), one still will have to wait a bit longer...

Poul-Henning, I hope you will continue to follow the development and only 
really stop time-serving Denmark after we have sufficiently proven that we are 
worthy of carrying on your legacy ;-).

Cheers,
	Jürgen
