     An alternative to your shack's PC clock (which is probably not visible
out by the tower's shadow) is a typical cellphone.  All digital cellular/PCS
networks rely on GPS signals to maintain synchronization among the
transmitters at the cell sites and the mobile handsets.  Most, if not all,
handsets these days include a time display that is better than most you can
find in a portable form factor, relying on the GPS signals for the correct
time.
