So pretty much, if one is using the tones from a RELIABLE radio

Why not make that 'reliable' station WWV to start with?
WWV at 10.000000 MHz has been my station since 1957 and even though the
NBS has changed it's name to NIST, WWV remains untouched. Propagation
delay is on the order of 1000/183,000 miles per second so that leaves
about 5 milliseconds of error here in the sates.


I find that my TV cable box display provides the easiest access to
accurate time.

Hah,
I have had WWV on at the same time as my cable box and found up to 30
seconds difference. Where does the extra time come from?
