Michael,
I don't think that is adequate.
First of all, use the highest frequency WWV that you can receive.
Second, do not use AM-S. That mode will synchronize with the frequency
of the AM carrier, and may not produce a true dial frequency.
Us SSB - either LSB or LSB and tune for the tones transmitted by WWV -
either 500 or 600 Hz. Use of an audio spectrum analyzer such as
Spectrogram or SpectrumLab will tell you when you have the tones
received at the proper frequencies.

If I set my K3's VFO to WWV at 5.000000 MHz with AM-S on....and I adjust
"REF CAL" to a number where
my VFO's frequency readout is exact or near this number +/- maybe a Hertz
or two. Is this an accurate way to calibrate my K3?
It seems to be very accurate as far as I can tell.
