With a .us address you are excused to assume there is only "the country" :) Anyway, I was curious aboput this statement and checked - it seems the majority of atomic clock radio signals are, in fact, broadcasting local time - at least MSF (uk), DCF77 (de), TDF (fr) and JJY (jp) are.
To my knowledge that signal doesn't include any TZ info
Most of the signals are defined to be in a certain timezone (which might be different than the timezone the receiver is in), in the sense that they usually can switch between two fixed offsets to UTC (e.g. UTC+1 and UTC+2 for DCF77 or TDF), usually with a short warning before a switch, so UTC can be recovered from these time signals. -- The choice of a Deliantra, the free code+content MORPG -----==- _GNU_ http://www.deliantra.net ----==-- _ generation ---==---(_)__ __ ____ __ Marc Lehmann --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / schmorp@schmorp.de -=====/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
