July 9, 2000

This Sunday (9 July 2000) is a planned end of 3-month time measurement check. On this day we plan to check our reference timepieces with Atomic Time, keeping track of any current discrepancy. The purpose of this team project is to determine the long-term accuracy of our LCD digital timepieces and to ultimately measure the slowing of the earth's rotation as the 12th approaches. For those who wish to participate, send your readings to me, so I can update our spread sheet.
