Abstract:	The Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) maintains the German legal time scale, disseminates time and frequency for both business and the general public, and undertakes research to improve its capabilities. In this report, we focus on the new time dissemination installations for the general public, which is comprised of the new low frequency transmitter DCF77 electronics and the new NTP servers. We briefly discuss the calibration activities concerning PTB’s external time links for the generation of International Atomic Time and report the result of the latest calibration of the link to the United States Naval Observatory
