No idea, but you can cheaply interface OEM boards, similar to the type
that go in clocks to the serial port of a computer and then decode the
signal. I run both a MSF and DCF77 clock using this technique here in the
UK. My design and software also works with WWVB.

At the moment I am working on some new advanced statistical filtering of
the signal that should provide *much* better decoding with weak signals.
No promise on the timescale when it will be ready however.
At the moment it exists as a Matlab program that runs against a previously
recorded HBG signal, that I normally cannot decode reliably with the
simplistic methods. However the Matlab program can decode the signal
accurately better than 90% of the time. It will need converting into C and
made to work in real time to be useful however.
