The BFO is (are, one for USB and one for LSBY the only oscillator that is not phase locked to the HP10811 inside, and that can be remedied, so it is not hopeless.

It will receive the signal fine, but the internal frequency conversions
are likely not phase stable, so it's probably useless for tracking the
carrier phase which is needed to use WWVB as a frequency standard.
