Thanks for the reference. However, the idea that this system is
'superior' would depend upon why one is looking for a time reference.
If all you want is a relatively high accuracy clock the WWV signal is
superior IMO. It certainly is easier to decode! As an added benefit it
includes the DST bit -- you never know when the govt will decide to
change the DST rules.

If you need to know where you are and have a clear view of the sky
your system works well.  (As long as I don't have to code the
algorithms.)
