A few shortwave stations among them DW have a reputation for a highly
accurate carrier frequency.  There are also the usual time stations such
as WWV on shortwave.  Within Germany ZDF's signal makes a good timebase;
a few years ago description how to build a highly accurate frequency
normal based on this signal have been published.
