Abstract
A method and a system to synchronize a time of day clock of a clock system. The method and system include a portable satellite timing system at a first location receiving a satellite signal comprising a first time of day signal. An internal clock of the portable satellite timing system is calibrated based on the first time of day signal to generate a second time of day signal. The portable satellite timing system is transported to a second location and coupled to the clock system. The second time of day signal is transferred from the portable satellite timing system to the clock system and the time of day clock is synchronized based on the second time of day signal. After a time period, the portable satellite timing system is transported to the first location.

A method of synchronizing a time of day clock of a clock system, the method comprising:
- receiving a satellite signal comprising a first time of day signal by a portable satellite timing system at a first location;
- calibrating an internal clock of the portable satellite timing system based on the first time of day signal to generate a second time of day signal;
- transporting the portable satellite timing system to a second location;
- coupling the portable satellite timing system to the clock system;
- transferring the second time of day signal from the portable satellite timing system to the clock system;
- synchronizing the time of day clock based on the second time of day signal;
- and transporting the portable satellite timing system to the first location after a time period.
