[time-nuts] new WWVB BPSK dev board

[Majdi S. Abbas]

$69 CAD is roughly $50 USD.

Expensive for what it is but easier to work with than gutting a working clock and no more expensive.

I ordered one.  Curious to see what sort of precision we can get from an i2c interface.

If nothing else I suppose I can toss a six digit i2c 7 segment module at it and roll my own WWVB desk clock.
