My decoder seemed to give something like this:

	A: 00000000000000000001011010010110001110100011101100101111110
	B: 00000000111100000000000000000000000000000000000000000001000
	Raw: 31/12/2016 23:59 Sat -400 No-DST 
	Ctime: Sat Dec 31 23:59:01 2016

	A: 00000000000000000001011100001000001000000000000000101111110
	B: 11111100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000111000
	Raw: 1/1/2017 0:01 Sun 600 No-DST 
	Ctime: Sun Jan  1 00:01:01 2017

Which shows it switching at the right time. There's a long wave spectrum

or an animated verion at:

I think the time codes relate transmitted relates to the minute following
the one in which they are transmitted according to:

Could that explain what you saw?
