   Given a choice between WWV and the Naval Observatory, you should consider
   WWV to be more accurate.

Actually, I thought the Naval Observatory was *the* master clock (at least
that's what they told us on their tour!).  NBS or whatever it is now uses
the USNO clock as the prime reference.  However, I have no idea whether
their dialup frob is reliable or not (evidentally not!).
