It would be interesting to know how many people are using MSF/DCF77/WWV/etc for 
high-precision work in preference to GPS.  In the case of MSF, I'd be slightly 
sceptical, given that it was moved from Rugby to Anthorn on a daily basis 
during the cut-over, which is at least a millisecond's difference as seen from 
most UK population centres, without any protest.
