IAM no longer in use

[edit]

Your list of standard time and frequency stations includes also IAM, a station that was located in Rome, Italy, and broadcast time signals on the frequency of 5 MHz. That station stopped operations several years ago and is no longer in use. I would suggest to remove it from the list.

Moreover, the list does not include stations in the VLF band, one of the best known being the German station DCF77, transmitting on 77.5 kHz with a power of 50 kW. Its signals can be received across Europe, and many clocks and watches (including mine) are synchronized with it. More exist on VLF that would deserve to be mentioned.
