But bear in mind this is at 9996kHz, 4 kHz away from 10MHz. I thought
the way the K2 PLL worked meant you had to calibrate at exactly 10MHz,
so calibrating against RWM may not give correct tracking on all
frequencies. It also transmits a pure carrier only for a few minutes
each hour, making it hard to use.

It is a pity that WWV is very rarely at a strong enough signal in
Europe to be used as a calibration reference and there is currently no
other one to use.
