16-08-2013: 1000 km link transfers UTC(MIKES)
The 1000 km White Rabbit link under test by MIKES and CSC (that operates FUNET) in Finland is actually quite a system as Mr. Merimaa from MIKES explains: The WR-master is actually referenced to UTC (MIKE), so that we have (some kind of) representation of UTC (MIKE) in Kajaani even now!
