    The most well-known time signals are those broadcast every hour by Radio New Zealand on the National radio station. The so-called “time pips” consist of six bursts of a 1000 Hz tone, at one second intervals that commence 5 seconds before the hour. The beginning of each pip marks a second and the pip that marks the hour is twice as long as the others. When a leap second is inserted seven pips are broadcast. The time-pip signal is synchronised with the New Zealand time standard, UTC(MSL).

    Either I have stuffed up or MSL has - take your choice!!!!!
