They could put the new station on 60 kHz as well. If they can't get

Joke's on them. GPS time is implemented by the atomic clocks in the
GPS ground control stations and the GPS satellites themselves. Since
it is not updated with leap seconds, GPS is currently ahead of UTC by
14 seconds.

Easily compensated for in the software.
