  After using systems having timebases slaved to rubidium and cesium
  standards ("atomic clocks") where expected stability and accuracy is
  1 part in 10^13, HF-WWV which is usable only to 1 part in 10^7 is
  downright sloppy!!!

  Those of us who appreciate precision readouts are no different from
  those of us who appreciate knowing time of day down to the second
  (which for some purposes is downright sloppy as well).
