Thanks for the heads up Tom! I ordered one and if it comes before the end of the year I may have some time over the holidays to do acquisition test from Maryland and maybe some cross-comparison with GPS PPS.
Here in Maryland I have somewhat unreliable reception on commercial non-BPSK WWVB clocks at my house. My Casio Waveceptor watch is 99%+ reliable when I'm asleep on the 2nd floor but much less likely to work in the basement. I can reliably hear the amplitude-keyed WWVB carrier on a LF receiver with a homebrew loop (about 3 foot by 3 foot) in the evenings but it takes some imagination to think I can hear it during the daytime.
