Default Leap Second Instant Replay

http://rhhardin.home.mindspring.com/leapsecond.ram

starting just before 23:58 ending just after 00:01:00

Notice he says ``Coordinated Universal Time'' and after ``Time''
there's a single second empty of clicks

At the end of the 23:59 minute, there's two seconds empty.

(Saves you counting to 60.)

The beep is on the zero second, the the click is omitted for seconds 29
and 59 (and, when there's a leap second, 23:60).

Thank you for clarifying that. I was worried sick that I'd turn the
clocks the wrong way!
