In general, ntpd tries to use the best clock.  It normally
does a pretty good job of that.  It isn't setup to read
beteween the lines and do what you think is best.  It gets
that from the raw data with a lot of filtering and heuristics.

I haven't looked at the code for the HBG receiver, but it should
treat each bit as a one second marker, just like a PPS signal.
Yes, it will have to wait until it gets a whole message to get
locked up, but after that it should know the time for each tick.

The refclock driver support code has a 64 slot FIFO and code
to discard outliers so you shouldn't have to worry about the
59 seconds between complete messages.

Why are you adding the minpoll/maxpoll?
