BSF (time service)

BSF is the callsign of the time signal transmitter owned by the National Time and Frequency Standards Laboratory of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (Taiwan), which transmits time information on 77.5 kHz in the longwave range. It was launched on May 1, 1969 and is broadcast from Zhongli District in Taichung using a T-antenna located at 25°0′20″N 121°21′54″E / 25.00556°N 121.36500°E / 25.00556; 121.36500 (BSF Time Signal Transmitter).[1]

The station used to also transmit on shortwave frequencies of MHz and 15 MHz, but this was discontinued due to "low demand" as of July 1, 2004.[2]
