The MSF signal
The MSF radio signal is a dedicated time broadcast that pro-
vides an accurate an reliable source of UK civil time, based on
the NPL atomic clock time scale UTC (NPL) . It is available across
the whole of the UK and beyond . The signal operates on a fre-
quency of 60 kHz and carries a time and date code that can be
received and decoded by the radio weather station . Reception
of these MSF signals normally takes between 3 and 5 minutes .
If reception of the MSF signal fails, the weather station will stop
trying to establish reception after around 7 minutes .
Reception can be considerably restricted by obstacles (e .g .
concrete walls) or interference sources (e .g . other electronic
devices) . If necessary, you should change the location of the
weather station (e .g . put it by a window) if reception problems
continue .
