The DCF77 only produces one timestamp each minute, so there really isn't
a big push for data reduction compared to NMEA's timestamp each second.
I'd really like to record the timestamp as received since it'll be
useful in case there's a problem with reception you can easily determine
if it was just a few bits gone missing or something more serious /
prolonged.

For poll=4 that'd actually mean four times more data in the log…
