LF diurnal variations are considerable, in the many microseconds
range. Thus any claim of parts in 10^13 or 10^14 or 10^15 accuracy
is misleading.

Even one microsecond of atmospheric phase change over an hour
is equivalent to a 2.7e-10 apparent frequency offset. Cal labs that
still use LF signals average over an integral number of days to try
to reduce this effect. Or they upgrade to GPS where diurnal variations
are a hundred to a thousand times less.
