Sean,

this is silly. If you compare the number of GPS receivers in the world and
the number of WWVB receivers, there should have been hundreds of thousands
to millions of complaints to have similar ratio. You forgot to compare it
to a MAE-East outage, current solar activity or hurricane Bret. Last time
I looked, nanog still had something to do with network engineering and
little to do with automotive navigation, surveying, or any of the other
GPS applications.

In the timing world, which is the only thing that WWVB could impact, the
reports of major problems are not showing up.
