[time-nuts] HBG keeps transmitting...

[Azelio Boriani]

Oh nothing special, just for the records: some time ago, when the info on
the HBG shutdown popped up, someone said it would be fine to record the
last transmission and I prepared the gear (made a small loop antenna, an
antenna preamp from an old ST506 harddisk differential amplifier, checked
the old Wandel&Goltermann SPM3 selective voltmeter). When the HBG-day
(hour? Minute? Second?) was about to come I had my PC running, started the
GoldWave WAV recorder, lined up all the audio path and... nothing happened:
the HBG was running as usual. After the 00:00 CET I waited for the 00:00
UTC thinking "of course, the shutdown must be UTC..." but nothing. After
the 00:00 UTC I was thinking about live-coding an audio time-lapse recorder
with amplitude detection... no, I'm not so familiar with the audio card
management so better go to bed: maybe the HBG will still be there tomorrow.
