Ehh most cell cites I think use high precision GPS timing to sync the
TDMA/CDMA data transmissions, your phone is probably really accurate
:-)
Any decent sized website should have easy access to pretty accurate time.
Outside providers like nist, or a Pi and a GPS module will do. There are
more expensive units that do CDMA (great if you don't have access to sky
for GPS antenna).
But always show up early and F5 the hell out of it.
