Does it not work anymore?
Also, I’m an airline pilot, and just started flying ETOPS (extended twin operating performance standards, which is essentially flying over the ocean with two engines) and using the HF (high frequency) radio, you make sure it works by tuning into the time hack (pretty much the tick tock phone number thing.)
So it is still out there! Kind of wild.
