"In 1988, the chronohertz signals from ATA were placed
onto the INSAT satellite over India, and by this time, the
transmitters were ailing and at times malfunctioning. After
a long period of consideration, and increasing technical
problems, the decision was finally made not to replace the
old electronic equipment, but rather to take the station off
the air. Jose states that ATA staff told him in telephone
conversations that the radio station was closed somewhere
around the year 2000."

Yes I read that the first time and just now again
-but- Rightly or Wrongly their NPL India -website-

Standard Time & Frequency Signals Broadcast Service :
Call Sign `ATA' -http://www.nplindia.ernet.in/time.php
Last Update : 04 / 03 / 2008

Still States {Reads} : "* HF broadcast service operating at
10 MHz under call sign ATA to synchronise the user clock
within a *millisecond"

Right -or- Wrong : The National Physical Laboratory (NPL)
New Delhi, INDIA -http://www.nplindia.org/
Is the 'official' Voice of the Government of India on these
matters.

DX Ace - Actually I am not disputing you : It is the NPL India
-website- that most likely needs correction.

The website states that the National Physical Laboratory (NPL)
is still Transmitting a Standard Time & Frequency Signal on
10 MHz -but- It has been reported that around the Year 2000
this Service was Terminated.

Please Confirm : That in-fact the NPL is still Transmitting a
