[time-nuts] Is there anything wrong with DCF77?

[George Race]

Hi Anthony, is there any possibility that you have a source of local
interference that started up in your home or area?
>From time to time, I have had everything from power line arcing noise to a
new computer power supply that was generating a high level of interference
blocking signals on different frequencies.

If you have a spectrum analyzer available that will cover the frequency
range of DCF77, it may not hurt to look around and see what you can find.

For the past several days (now thirty hours straight), none of my
radio-synchronized clocks has been able to synchronize with DCF77. Is
there a problem with the transmitter, or maybe a geomagnetic storm or
something that could explain it? I've been looked at the transmitter
Web site and searching for news and information on any disturbances
that would affect reception, but I haven't found anything. I'm about
500 km from the station. The only thing I have that will sync is my
wristwatch, and it will only do it if I stand outside in an open area.
