[time-nuts] Re: BBC Radio Pips

[Andy Talbot]

Yes, but it was several decades ago when GPS for the masses was quite new
and I had just bought a Garmin GPS25 module.
On the 198kHz AM prog the pips were within hundreds of microseconds of GPS
PPS, a delay commensurate with the bandwidth of the IF filter in
the receiver.

But on VHF they were 3 milliseconds late.  In jest I wrote to  Terry Wogon
the then presenter of the morning show on Radio 4 (non UK leaders may
gloss over this bit :-) to point this out and say that cumulatively this
lateness of the 'pips' made me several seconds late for work over the
year.   It never got a mention on his  prog though.
