I used what you call the "traditional loop antenna", instead of
ferrites. I found that unshielded antennas have no rejection of the
E-field crap from fluorescent lighting.

Plus synchronous demodulation derived from a PLL makes all the
difference in the world.

Will it work with the new WWVB format?

"In the second of the two formats, based on PM, which has been in use since
October 29, 2012, binary-phase-shift-keying (BPSK) modulation is used,
wherein the carrier's phase is unaffected when conveying a "0", and is
inverted (i.e. 180-degree shifted) when conveying "1". This time code, also
operating at a rate of 1 bit/sec, is delayed by 0.1s with respect to the
first time code described above, such that 180-degree transitions in the
carrier phase can only occur 0.1s after the 17dB power reduction that is
created by the pulse-width-modulation. The data content, physical properties
and scheduling features of this BPSK time code may be found here:
