Elk Users: What NTP servers are you using?

It's DST time again, and I'm looking to get my M1G properly setup (I've had NTP disabled since going around in circles last year trying to fix the off-by-an-hour problem).
 
As such, I'd like to know the time servers folks are using, and I will try them in my install and keep my fingers crossed.
 
Here shut off using the internet and went internal initially building / modifying a GPS with adding in PPS.
 
SureElectronics Evaluation GPS board.  It's a 10 minute hardware modification to introduce PPS.
swas just a Wintel box using the time keeper Tardis program.
 
Then someone over at PFsense introduced / modded the original GPS plugin NTP stuff to utilize PPS with more GPS hardware products.
 
The set up is working well and not internet dependant.
 
Relating to my Leviton HAI OPII looking to time syncing via a battery and internal NTP server currently with a micro router and software automation.  (all internal versus using internet time clocks).
 
I wrote a CQC rule to push time to the Elk every Sunday.  I am done with Elk's DST issues...
 
time-b.nist.gov. I am on latest ElkM1G/XEP firmware and DST worked correctly - after three years of failures. One thing I did different this year was set the update time to 3:13AM (along with latest firmware updates).
 
For people who are testing this in the future -- you need to send the changes you make to the time server address in the XEP configuration screen to the XEP before you can use the "Test" button.
