David,
Your first two servers are in the mix with the WWV driver and could be
causing some offset. To avoid this, put noselect options for all servers
except WWV for test. When signals are good, I generally get within 0.1
ms in both offset and jitter with respect to a PPS from GPS.
To get to this degree, you need accurate propagation delay to well
within 1 ms. Note that, as it says in the driver HTML page, this is good
enough to follow the ionosphere wanders up durint the day and down at
night over a range of about 1 ms. This is for a two-hop F2-layer path,
which is common here on the right coast. If you are in E-layer range,
the difference can be more dramatic.
