So did WWVA-1170. We visited their transmitter site back in the 60s and they 
had a beverage aimed at Washington DC to pick up FSKed broadcasts from (now 
WXTR) WTOP-1500. I think the circuit extended to NORAD HQ. I don't remember 
which was the intervening station between WWVA and NORAD.

Also, WSM-650 was phase locked to WWV to serve as a frequency reference. 
That was discontinued in about 1978-9 to allow AM stereo. I used WSM as a 
standard, and had designed a 1,000/650-kHz generator to calibrate my 
Griefkit counter,
and was non-plussed when, upon setting up my "stuff" in Bermuda, found that 
was no longer the case.

I note that WSM-650 is as close to zero-frequency offset as I can measure. 
Does anyone amongst us know whether they are locked to WWV or to GPS?
