Hi,
This is to report the behavior of my Datum ExacTime 6000 unit dealing with
the leap second. I think the behavior shows the age of the unit (around year
2000). It has firmware DT102E.
- It showed two "58" seconds, that would be the leap second insertion...
- It showed a "60" second... what? That made it two leap seconds...
- It skipped the "05" second of the following minute to subtract the
extraneous leap second added above...
I have captured this on video and will likely put that on Youtube for those
who may be interested. I captured CHU's audio in the background. By the way,
CHU's transmitted data was an extra tick for the "60" second.
Regards,
Bert, VE2ZAZ
