Thanks for the info, Michael.
Back then, Jim Rowe got the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and
Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) to do some precise measurements
of his TV-derived frequency standard.
Strange considering Telstra maintained the Australian frequency standards at
the time, not the CSIRO.
Telstra has now given it away, but last I heard the CSIRO was not
interested. Didn't want to spend the money (the same reason Telstra gave it
away)
They found that all the networks were very accurate, but a couple
were super-precise. Maybe it's all different now and GPS is the way to
go?
Well the ABC-2 clock was running 1 hour and five minutes fast, (compared to
AEDT and their programs) most of Sunday morning. I wouldn't have too much
faith in them any more :-(
