Sounds like an enhancement for the Frequency calibration routine in PowerSDR 
<wink>.

1) I want to listen to WWV with a larger FFT than we currently listen to in the 
the code.
2) I want to listen to contiguous blocks of these FFT results.

The phase spin of the WWV carrier is DIRECTLY usable to compute the frequency 
offset (up to ionospheric disturbance) and should lead to mHz accuracy.

Using this computed estimate of the oscillator inaccuracy in the receiver we 
can then apply the same process in an FMT with the calibrated receiver.

If you have a carrier and apply successive FFT blocks to it,  the phase 
rotation of the bin containing the FMT carrier gives the frequency offset from 
the center of the block and can be made more accurate by filtering the 
resulting offsets to get a more noise free version.
