5.4.14.3 Format BBC-03 PSTN
The third format is a string ASCII characters and is sent on a received character.
The message should be advanced by an appropriate number such that the stop bit of each
<CR> occurs at the start of the next second. For example, at 300 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop
bit, and no parity, each byte takes 10/300s=33ms, so the <CR> byte should be advanced
by 33ms in order for the <CR>’s stop bit to line up with the start of the next second.
Time information is available in UTC format or UK TOD format.

Each HHMMSS filed refers to the time at the start of the next second. The data transmitted
by SecureSync is timed so that the stop bit of each <CR> ends at the start of the next
second.
