From the NPL:

Annual maintenance: 3–21 September 2018

The annual maintenance shutdown of the MSF service to allow safe maintenance
of the masts and antennas, including greasing of the stays, will take place
between 3 and 21 September 2018. The service will be off-air from 08:00 to
18:00 BST each day, including weekends. If the weather is unsuitable for
work to be carried out, then the service will not be turned off. If the work
is completed sooner than 18:00 BST on any day, the service will be restored
as soon as possible.

Question to time-nuts: could you manage with a daytime outage of WWVB for
over two weeks?  Haven't heard many UK folk complaining during previous
maintenance periods.

Cheers,
David
