up the Station Program and I want to keep the computers' clock accurate.

I use Socket Watch to automatically correct my computer clock to Public

This is a $10 shareware program that you can download from:

This program works in the background and tries to empirically identify the
best server for your location.

If you want some other choices, check out the Naval Observatory site:

Good luck and let us [AMSAT-BB] know if you find something better.
