   I'd blame either WWV reception problems or weak batteries for the   
   problem with 2/3 of your "atomic" clock issues.  That assumes that both   
   of them have handled previous time change cycles correctly.  If they   
   didn't, I'd wonder about their firmware.  I've got 3 "atomic" time   
   keeping devices, 2 of which are about 20 years old.  All 3 continue to   
   deal flawlessly with the time changes despite my condo being in a steel   
   girder building and in located in rooms with screens on all the windows.   
    I'm located in the mid-Atlantic in an urban/suburban neighborhood with   
   many nearby high rise buildings.
