    UTC was defined by the BIH since 1961 as a function of TAI.
    See eg the excerpts of the Annual Reports by the BIH available at
[https://www.bipm.org/en/bipm-services/timescales/time-ftp/annual-reports.html]

    These excerpts also contain a list of time signals following
    UTC (or SAT) as defined by the BIH.
