There are a number of WWVB simulator projects out there that will transmit a weak but
usable signal to your clock after getting sync’d from ntp or GPS NMEA time messages. They
were developed to help people develop receivers :-) One in particular uses an AVR and it
should be pretty simple to make it do the “old protocol”. You’d then hide this behind
your clock and it will sync to it instead of the actual WWVB signal. Solves the protocol
problem and the weak signal problem from real WWVB with one little circuit.
If Google does not provide, I can dig up some links tomorrow.

A change to the protocol that old clocks don't know about.
