Hi Not quite sure what happened to the original message before it got here … The voice / time announcements on WWV and CHU date back quite a ways. I wonder just how old the gear they currently are using is? Once upon a time it was done with a mechanical marvel of a device.

Hi John, thanks for reporting this problem. One of my colleagues is heading out to CHU to look into it right now.
