Bob, If you are looking for an accurate, easy to use timing signal then GPS is the one you want. WWV and WWVB are what I call "legacy" signals and while they might be accurate when broadcast there is propagation delay and unknown atmospheric and ionospheric conditions.
But the question is "How accurate do you need?" If a few tens of milliseconds is good enough then running NTP over the internet will work and if you already have an internet connection it's free. If you need a few nanoseconds then GPS is what you want. Using your beat with WWV as a benchmark. You were getting about one part in a million accuracy. It is VERY easy to do 10,000 times better than that with GPS.
