Nit-pick:  Isn't WWV's timebase from a Cesium clock, not Rubidium?  I 
don't have my WWV docs here at the office...

Yup, page 4 and 5 of this doc show it... Cesium Fountain frequency 
standard.  http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/general/pdf/1383.pdf

Actually that's a pretty neat doc that describes a whole bunch more than 
just WWV/WWVH.  :-)
