You can pop the corks now -- only the mundanes wait for local time. I had pretty good success with the recordings -- I have audio of WWVB, CHU, and WWV on both 5 and 10MHz. I also have data logs from the Spectracom 8170 WWVB receiver and Z3801A, as well as a dump of the system time on a Linux NTP box with Z3801A driving the shared memory refclock (using the program that was posted on the ntp mailing list a few hours ago).
Interestingly, the 8170 did *not* pick up the leap second right at midnight UTC. It took about five minutes for the display to retard by one second compared to the Rb clock. I haven't dug through the data log yet to see how the serial output reacted. So although I was snapping away, I didn't get my picture of 23:59:60 :-(. As Poul-Henning requested, I'm doing two hours of audio recording (well, I got started about 3 minutes 30 seconds after 23:00) and will make that available to anyone who wants to examine the timecodes.
