77.5 kHz very longwave time signal - extended until 2031 year

Wednesday, December 01 2021

GERMANY Time signal transmitter DCF77 in operation for another 10 years
extended until 2031 year.

DCF77 contract with Media Broadcast extended by another 10 years.
Even though today many institutions check their exact time via the 
internet or Refer to mobile radio, the reliable transmission on the 
Longitudinal wave 77.5 kHz continues to be justified. From the kitchen 
clock to to the station clock, from the energy supplier to the world 
clock on the Berliner Alexanderplatz - they all get their exact time 
from DCF77, the Longitudinal wave transmitter in Mainflingen near 
Frankfurt, Germany.
Like the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in Braunschweig recently 
announced, the contract with Media Broadcast GmbH for the Transmission 
of time signals extended until 2031. The reception of the Time 
information on a highly precise frequency is almost Europe-wide without 
"wiring" possible with inexpensive receivers.
Media Broadcast GmbH has already announced that it will have one next 
year to build a second remote controllable high-performance transmitter.
The facility services will then be completely duplicated on site, so 
that the repeated short-term downtimes can be further reduced can. Also 
the control devices operated by the PTB on site and the surveillance in 
Braunschweig is continuously modernized.
