  • Time Signal Stations 1By Michael A
    122 Time Signal Stations 1By Michael A. Lombardi I occasionally talk to people who can’t believe that some radio stations exist solely to transmit accurate time. While they wouldn’t poke fun at the Weather Channel or even a radio station that plays nothing but Garth Brooks records (imagine that), people often make jokes about time signal stations. They’ll ask “Doesn’t the programming get a little boring?” or “How does the announcer stay awake?” There have even been parodies of time signal stations. A recent Internet spoof of WWV contained zingers like “we’ll be back with the time on WWV in just a minute, but first, here’s another minute”. An episode of the animated Power Puff Girls joined in the fun with a skit featuring a TV announcer named Sonny Dial who does promos for upcoming time announcements -- “Welcome to the Time Channel where we give you up-to- the-minute time, twenty-four hours a day. Up next, the current time!” Of course, after the laughter dies down, we all realize the importance of keeping accurate time. We live in the era of Internet FAQs [frequently asked questions], but the most frequently asked question in the real world is still “What time is it?” You might be surprised to learn that time signal stations have been answering this question for more than 100 years, making the transmission of time one of radio’s first applications, and still one of the most important. Today, you can buy inexpensive radio controlled clocks that never need to be set, and some of us wear them on our wrists.

  • Radio Navigational Aids
    RADIO NAVIGATIONAL AIDS Publication No. 117 2014 Edition Prepared and published by the NATIONAL GEOSPATIAL-INTELLIGENCE AGENCY Springfield, VA © COPYRIGHT 2014 BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT NO COPYRIGHT CLAIMED UNDER TITLE 17 U.S.C. WARNING ON USE OF FLOATING AIDS TO NAVIGATION TO FIX A NAVIGATIONAL POSITION The aids to navigation depicted on charts comprise a system consisting of fixed and floating aids with varying degrees of reliability. Therefore, prudent mariners will not rely solely on any single aid to navigation, particularly a floating aid. The buoy symbol is used to indicate the approximate position of the buoy body and the sinker which secures the buoy to the seabed. The approximate position is used because of practical limitations in positioning and maintaining buoys and their sinkers in precise geographical locations. These limitations include, but are not limited to, inherent imprecisions in position fixing methods, prevailing atmospheric and sea conditions, the slope of and the material making up the seabed, the fact that buoys are moored to sinkers by varying lengths of chain, and the fact that buoy and/or sinker positions are not under continuous surveillance but are normally checked only during periodic maintenance visits which often occur more than a year apart. The position of the buoy body can be expected to shift inside and outside the charting symbol due to the forces of nature. The mariner is also cautioned that buoys are liable to be carried away, shifted, capsized, sunk, etc. Lighted buoys may be extinguished or sound signals may not function as the result of ice or other natural causes, collisions, or other accidents.

The data can’t yet be confirmed as being 100% accurate and up to date, so any updates or corrections would be greatly appreciated. #3 : This list is was put together from various sources mainly to have a starting place to look for these signals, though it is quite possible that many of them are now inactive or closed, so any reports of loggings would be very helpful in checking its accuracy. Details can be sent via the address shown below, and any updates or details of verifications received would be greatly appreciated. #4 : More information about Datamodes and the decoders that are available to receive them can be found at the following webpage: https://ndblist.info/datamodes.htm There is now a specialist group called the ‘DGPS List’ which also covers this mode, to find out more visit: https://groups.io/g/dgpslist/ Updates for this list can be sent to: <TSSupdates at ndblist.info> (replace the ‘at’ with @) © A.

  • STANDARD FREQUENCY and TIME SIGNAL STATIONS on LF and HF Originally Published Between October 1997 and July 1998
    WUN ARCHIVE STANDARD FREQUENCY AND TIME SIGNAL STATIONS ON LF AND HF Originally published between October 1997 and July 1998 Standard frequency and time signal stations on LF and HF, pt.1 Welcome to the first part of a series about Time and Frequency Stations on LF and HF. This month you'll find a frequency list and a general introduction to these stations. During the next few months, we will highlight a bunch of the stations. Special thanks to Klaus Betke for his research, Stan Skalsky, Kevin Carey, Terry Krey, and Dave Mills. Also thanks to the Institute of Meteorology for Time and Space (Russia), BIPM Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (France) and NIST National Institute of Standards and Technology (USA) for their time, help and the huge amount of info. Introduction Exact time intervals are needed for navigation and surveying, in science and engineering. In the past, HF radio signals were often the only way to calibrate a clock onboard a ship or a frequency standard in a laboratory. In the age of GPS satellites and portable atomic clocks, however, time and frequency distribution via HF has become largely obsolete. New applications like network synchronization require an accuracy that cannot be met by HF signals. Moreover, the transmission scheme of most stations and the peculiarity of shortwave propagation make these signals less suitable for automatic, unattended reception. Consequently, many time signal stations have disappeared. In former times, coastal radio stations also transmitted time signals on their CW frequencies. Although numerous of these services to mariners are still listed in, you will hardly find an active one.
