· New Zealand J. Geol. Geophys.
The high-altitude nuclear explosion over Johnston Island on July 9, 1962 did not affect the reception at Wellington of the time-signal transmissions from GBR (Rugby), WWV (Washington), WWVH (Hawaii), and JJY (Japan) as much as was expected. The 16 kc transmission from GBR suffered a drop of only 3db for about 40 minutes after the explosion; WWVH and JJY were completely blacked out for about 44 minutes; and WWV was affected for a similar period, the 15 Mc signal being blacked out, the 10 Mc signal almost blacked out, and the 5 Mc signal only moderately affected.
