The new GPS puck started working -- keeping both time and coordinates fine now. Has a lock at least 1/2 the time -- which is fine in my installation.
The WWVB clock is still not working. I may need a new receiver -- which is super hard to find now. It uses a circuit board out of an old "atomic" clock movement, modified. I could re-use the huge tubes in a new clock, but I like my enclosure and would not want to rebuild that.
