This is on a good day, when MSF is actually on-air and nobody is running
anything electrically noisy nearby.  It was cheap, though -- it's a
<http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/radioclock.html>, and our techs had
most of the bits in their stores anyway.  The machine is currently an HP
DC7100, and is about 100m west of 55.92188N, 3.17113W and 83.1m above MSL,
OSGB datum (the Acutime, in south Edinburgh).

Incidentally, solti.inf.ed.ac.uk isn't in the pool, though a couple of our 
S2s which usually sync to it are, and isn't normally accessible externally, 
but if anyone would like to peer with us contact me off-list and we'll see 
what we can do.
