Radio/Clocks

I have collected together some references to WWVB, WWV, and LORAN-C VLF/LF radio receiver design and construction, and digital clock design and construction. All of these articles are pretty old. It would be nice to find some more up-to-date ones. I would be interested in any information about other articles that I could add to this list.
