Another thing to consider is simply listening to the incoming signals.  I have no problem listening to incoming signals and telling when the majority of them start and stop.  It doesn’t take much effort to slide your clock 1 second at a time one way or the other, based on whether everyone else is ahead or behind your unadjusted clock.

Even better, using Mike’s Timefudge or Sam’s SyncTime mentioned above can easily be used to slip your clock a little to line it up with what you’re hearing on the receiver.  Once you get close enough to decode, you can get an idea how far you are off by looking at everyone else.  Give it a tick of adjustment until the numbers start getting down there to .1/.2 like most stations.
