While I don't have first hand knowledge of CDMA base stations, I recall seeing 
a symmetricom data sheet that stated that even pulse per second signals were 
(or are ?) used for timing in CDMA base stations.  Sorry I have no idea why the 
even pulse per second signal is preferable in that applcation.
