WWVB is a whole different beast from WWV/WWVH. I never had a use for or a
way to tune into WWVB until after I moved out of range.


Actually the only difference between VH and VB is the frequencies VB
is carried on - down where the whales are listening. But it's the
same thing - tick tones and minute and hourly beeps.


It's a very narrowband phase shift and amplitude keyed carrier.
Modulation is at the 1 bit per second rate. Sounds like a wobbly
carrier with some occasional shift in signal strength.
