Incidentally, the MSF signal is now broadcast from Anthorn, in
Cumbria.


Why's that down for maintenance so much?...

The broadcasting is sub-contracted to BT.

Shouldn't that be VT comms?..

Tx Maintenance is their
call, not NPL's, so I can't tell you why it's down so often.
However, 72 hours in about 17,000 hours for scheduled mainenance
(less than 0.5% of the available hours) doesn't seem excessive to
me.

Well we're on NPL's mailing list and it seem to happen quite a lot..
Haven't actually counted the intervals but seems every couple of
months..
