Zero-beat to WWV is hard to do better than 50Hz by ear.

Have you tried a Lissajou display?

Or use the S-meter to see very low freq beats.

Check out the latest Atlanticon proceedings, or the upcoming issue of the
Homebrewer for a circuit to allow you to see zero beat to within a fraction
of a Hz.

S-Meter! On 'modern' gear?? All they give you is a bank of
