My alarm clock is around 20minutes fast today. It gets synced with the atomic clock network every night. I'm in Dallas Tx, anybody else around here with a similar problem, or is my clock broken?

The country would probably be in chaos if the atomic clock was off.... Probably something up with your clock.

I know it's not the whole clock network, but I thought it might be my local radio transmitter.

I'm in Dallas too, and as far as I can tell mine is correct..it matches the time that my computer got when I just synced it up.

time.gov

My computer is about 10 seconds off to that. Set it a couple of weeks ago on one of the time servers. I'm using a program called dimension4 which will go to one of the gov. sites and set your clock.

sysmetrix, which monitors my computer's stats, updates my clock once a day I believe...its never been even a minute off

dimension4 can do the same thing, I just don't like programs that run automatically.
