I about agree. It consistently nailed my position w/in about 100 feet on a LORAN Chart using an early uP (8085) based receiver (Appelco). The antenna was a Radio Shack whip with a preamp at its base.
With an Austron 2100F against a Rb and Oscilloquartz or HP 117A things were reliably in few in 10 E-11. I saw no diurnal shift as with WWVB, but am in the Boston area. I never did any data logging or careful measurements, but just used it to tweek the crystals every month or so.
