Hi!
I don't have the equipment for it, but I am sure that a ham near would
be able to pull this off. Here the deal:
"After seventy years of broadcasting Canada's official time, NRC's
shortwave station CHU will move the transmission frequency for the 7335
KHz transmitter to 7850 KHz. The change will occur on 01 January 2009 at
00:00 UTC."
Now, as this happends at the same time as the leap second, it would be
kind of cool recording both the old and new CHU transmissions on left
and right channel of a stereo-pair. That should capture leap-second and
frequency switchover.
Just a thought for the hams out there in North America.
Cheers,
Magnus
