Hi

The gotcha with WWVB is correcting for the day / night ionosphere issues. Since 
they are not 
100% predictable, it’s not a real easy problem to solve. Toss on top of the the 
ambiguous status
of WWV or WWVB ( = will it be there next year …. if so in what format ….????) 
there layers and 
layers.

Best guess is that WWVB at a “one day” sort of range is a 10 ppt sort of thing. 
At the same observation
time, GPS is a < 0.1 ppt sort of thing. If the objective is accuracy … WWVB 
come in a bit far back ….
