The problem with a repeater is the latency.

When all of that gear gets decommed either for newer stuff or they just don't want to run it anymore. I wonder if it will end up in a surplus auction. If so, if it's cheap enough I would want to buy it and run it myself.. because, why not?

>For those living in the continental US who, for whatever reason, don’t have access to an NTP server or a GPS device, the next best way to make sure the correct time is known is with the WWVB radio signal. Transmitting out of Colorado, the 60-bit 1 Hz signal reaches all 48 states in the low-frequency band and is a great way to get a clock within a few hundred nanoseconds of the official time. But in high noise situations, particularly on the coasts or in populated areas these radio-based clocks might miss some of the updates. To keep that from happening [Mike] built a repeater for this radio signal.
