Was your chatter at all intelligible?

Barely, I could make out a few words here and there but nothing
substantial. I assumed it wasn't an official message because I could
hear the time announcer just fine.

Even with good reception, often the voice reports on WWV (geomagnetic,
weather, etc.) are unintelligible, as if the speaker has no on-air
experience. It was so bad last year that I had intended to complain
to NIST but I never did.

That's wack. The weather (space and at sea) announcements are done over
a restricted bandwidth voice channel and sound every bit as
unintelligible as a landline phone call using a telephone. In other
words, they sound OK.
