Setting the Clock to Winter Time on October 26
MEDIA BROADCAST transmits Time Signals to 100 Million Radio Clocks
(firmenpresse) - Bonn, October 24, 2008 – On the last weekend of October it will be that time of year again: we will have to set our clocks to winter time. Owners of radio clocks do not have to worry about the time change. MEDIA BROADCAST’s DCF77 time signal transmitter in Mainflingen by Frankfurt broadcasts the legal time for Germany by order of the Federal Physical and Technical Institute (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt) (PTB). The signal that repeats itself every minute will also broadcast the new time on October 26 at three o’clock at night. Radio clocks will be automatically set back by one hour. MEDIA BROADCAST broadcasts the reference time of atomic clocks of the PTB, which are located in the transmitting radio station in Mainflingen. Monitoring by PTB clocks in Braunschweig guarantees an accuracy of one second in two million years. In Mainflingen the long-wave transmitter DCF77 broadcasts the signal on the frequency 77.5 kilohertz with a range of 2,000 kilometers. The timing cycle reaches around 100 million recipients in households, in the scientific and economic communities and in daily public traffic.
