Wayne, there was a superb 2015 QEX article by KD2BD on his WWVB disciplined frequency standard. Full article is online here: http://www.arrl.org/files/file/QEX_Next_Issue/2015/Nov-Dec_2015/Magliacane.pdf
As a frequency standard I have no major disagreement with the PTTI article. But the 100 microsecond number they give for absolute time transfer seems to be based entirely on propagation characteristics and ignores the difficulty I've always had in resolving the mushy edge of the timecode pulses. 100 microseconds implies a system bandwidth of 10kHz, which is pointless because the transmitter antenna bandwidth has to be quite narrow - hundreds of Hz if not less.
