Why do you need more than one chip?

Why can't the PIC generate the 60 KHz signal by bit banging a couple of pins? 
 I'm thinking of a 2 or 3 bit D/A with 2 or 3 more pins for the low power 
portion of the signal.

1 bit might be enough with a good external filter.

I wonder what the range would be using 2 feet of wire for an antenna.  Do you 
want to fix your neighbors clocks too?
