As in timekeeping, GPS has become the method of choice for frequency calibration, but there are still people using WWVB (and presumably other standard frequency stations) for their original purpose. If nothing else, it provides direct traceability to NBS without needing to adjust for NIST<-->USNO offsets.

NIST (National Institue of Standards and Technology) is simply the new name for the former NBS (National Bureau of Standards)! What difference /offset are you really referring to?
