Not sure where Brian is located but... For a few hours on a few winter nights I can semi-regularly receive DCF77 at my QTH in MD, USA. But I'm not sure I've ever picked it out of the noise in the summer (when remember we have less night-time!)
I would not recommend DCF77 for any North American sites except as a LF propagation curiosity comparison.

I think you should be more concerned that you can receive DCF77 at all where you live. It's a transmitter in Mainflingen, Germany (near Frankfurt) with a range of about 1500 km / 2000 km. It works perfectly here inside, but then I'm only about 200 km from it, and haven't used it for ntp.
