   My old 'atomic' clock, quartz + radio, typically sync/ed itself in early   
   morning hours when it could get that radio signal best; it was placed by   
   a window that it could see the sky between itself & CO US.  It had a   
   little symbol on its display that indicated it had been sync/ed on a   
   daily basis, so if that symbol wasn't showing, the current time was   
   quartz time.  That was an aid in clock placement.
