Jim.
As you have experience with a Pi, with the addition of a GPS RX, you can
make yourself a very good GPSD NTP server using that. Then, just hook
that to the PC(s) that need time sync, by LAN or portable WiFi access point.
http://www.satsignal.eu/ntp/Raspberry-Pi-NTP.html has all you need to
know. Thanks to Dave GM8ARV

In many parts of Mindanao where we may go, the cell service is either spotty or nonexistent, so I would not want to rely on that. Also, WWV/WWVB/WWVH reception is not guaranteed. When I was there in April, I heard absolutely ZERO signals on CW on any of the ham bands - very strange! But when I moved to the JT-x frequencies, I got signals. So, I?m thinking my best bet would be to go with some sort of GPS/NTP arrangement. To that end, I?ve ordered a copy of the ARRL Arduino book one of you pointed out to me. Worth a shot. I haven?t used one of the Arduino units yet, but my WSJT-X operating here at home in Folsom is 100% powered by a Raspberry Pi 3, so I am familar with using the little micro?s.
