Re: [IRCA] Reloj Time Slips

["W. Curt Deegan" <WWWR@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Barry,

Interesting catch.  Wouldn't you know, after three days of monitoring RR on 
1610 and other normal frequencies, tonight I wasn't paying attention.

Still at 0700Z, Jan 20 2006, RR is still off by just what you observe, and 
that includes the one on 1610 I've been tracking -- though obviously not 
closely enough.

I would suggest 38 seconds late because at the TOH the RR Morse code is 
delayed more than other times. With the time tone at 0700:38, the RR was 
sent at 0701:01 instead of the approximately 3-6 seconds later at other 
times.  This would indicate the TOH tone was late rather than early, 
otherwise this delay would have been before 0700 instead of after it.

On 950, where I can hear two RR's, they're both off, but also about a half 
second apart.  Seems setting ones clock by RR may be a chancy 
proposition.  A half second is bad enough, but 38 seconds leaves a whole 
lot to be desired.  Still, if all you have is an hour hand, what's the big 
deal?

Maybe Fidel is flying his satellites extra high tonight.
