This has just appeared on  the time-nuts group but I have not been able to 
check it yet. It will be a bit of a shock to Trinity Ho. as they have a 
contract with Babcock Int for Anthorn until 2019 I think. Anthorn isnt dual 
rate (I believe) so it cant work with Sylt so it becomes useless. To be sure 
we need some corroberation or a posting from a trusted source. It will 
certainly make a difference to 136kHz

...........or am I just getting out-of -touch :-))
