<h3>Chrono-log K-series WWVB receiver</h3>

<h4>Description</h4>
This driver supports the Chrono-log K-series WWVB receiver.  This is a
very old receiver without provisions for leap seconds, quality codes,
etc.  It assumes output in the local time zone, and that the C library
mktime()/localtime() routines will correctly convert back and forth
between local and UTC.  There is a hack in the driver for permitting
UTC, but it has not been tested.

<P>Most of this code is originally from refclock_wwvb.c with thanks. It
has been so mangled that wwvb is not a recognizable ancestor.
