Just in case anyone's interested...
In the UK, one source of accurate time information is the Rugby MSF
transmitter on 60kHz (VLF). The signal gives information on minute, hour,
day, date, month, year, and whether BST is in use or not. Data is transmitted
in fast-code, as well as in slow-code format (1 bit per second, so decoding is
fairly simple for even slow, home-made gadgets). Transmission range is in the
order of a few hundred miles.
Paul.
