The annual maintenance shutdown of the MSF service to allow safe maintenance of
the masts and antennas, including greasing of the stays, will take place between
14 and 31 August 2017.
The service will be off-air from:
08:00 to
19:00 BST each day, including weekends.
If the weather is unsuitable for
work to be carried out, then the service will not be turned off. If the work is
completed sooner than 19:00 BST on any day, the service will be restored as soon
as possible.
The MSF radio signal is a dedicated time broadcast that
provides an accurate and reliable source of UK civil time, based on the NPL time
scale UTC(NPL)
