Page 7: Msf Antenna
AC-100-MSF MSF ANTENNA The MSF signal is broadcast from Anthorn in Cumbria and is maintained at a reliable frequency of 60 kHz, delivering a steady signal undisrupted by changing weather conditions and operational 24 hours a day. The radio signal is designed to cover the whole of the United Kingdom. -
Page 8: Dcf Antenna
AC-100-MSF DCF ANTENNA The DCF antenna receives a radio signal broadcast at 77.5 kHz from Frankfurt (Main). The signal covers the whole of Germany and impressively most of Europe too. One thing to bear in mind with a radio-based antenna is that certain electrical equipment generates noise on the same frequency as the radio signal and can cause interference. -
Page 9: Wwvb Antenna
AC-100-MSF WWVB ANTENNA The WWVB antenna receives a radio signal broadcast at 60 kHz from two transmitters near Fort Collins in Colorado. One benefit of using the WWVB signal is that as they have two transmitters that have different scheduled down times, the WWVB signal is not affected by maintenance. -
