[time-nuts] MSF Annual Maintenance Shutdown

[gandalfg8 at aol.com]

NPL has issued notice that ascheduled maintenance shutdown of the UK MSF service to allow safe working onthe masts and antennas will take place from 28 April - 13 May 2020. In previous years this hasnormally involved a daily off period between say 0800 and 1600 but this year'snotification just states.....
 "The service will be off-air from 28 April - 13May 2020, but if the weather is unsuitable for work to be carried out, then theservice will not be turned off",   which seems to imply a potential total shutdown over that period.
Although there are no longer any out of service notifications for the Anthorn eLoran transmission I would expect that to be off for the same period.
