The national atomic clock is located in Boulder, Colorado.  The
National Bureau of Standards broadcasts the correct time (GMT) on a
number of short wave bands (2.5, 5.0, 10.0 among others--I don't
know what units these are in).  They also broadcast over the phone.
I don't remember the number but you should be able to get it through
information in Boulder.
