I would guess that the propagation delay in a telephone connection would
be negligible even if you are interested in using it to communicate with
WWV.  Keep in mind that when you call someone long distance, the delay
you encounter before the person that you are talking to responds 
has to be twice the propagation delay.  I have never noticed any delay 
that was of any consequence when I was talking long distance anywhere.

Since that means that the delay is not noticeable, and since WWV is at
most accurate to 1/10 second, you can expect to be perfectly accurate.

I would like to hear from anybody with a contrary opinion.
