New NIST Time Code to Boost Reception for Radio-Controlled Clocks

[Mike ODELL]

it's not because your refrigerator needs it.
it's because they needed to improve the noise immunity for
things that do want accurate time from WWVB. your refrigerator
just gets a free giggle. and frankly, in the Time Transfer business,
a microsecond is seriously sloppy when the clocks behind it measure 
noise in picoseconds and femtoseconds.  (grin)
