There are programs like "Speaking clock" which will announce the time each minute,starting the announcement more or less at the start of each minute. The sound card output is connected to a radio headphone set to enable remote monitoring. I do not know of a reliable radio source, even if one used the longwave transmissions they do not announce the time. A fiddly solution?
