Bill:

I didn't suggest the radio.   Perhaps an oversight on my part when I
said "3 GPS's and a Davis Mk 15"   I guess that depends on the accuracy
(and number) of wristwatches one carries.   My experience with SW radios
is that most of the cheap ones have very poor sensitivity (eg, can not
receive WWV on the East Coast of the US) and I'd seek out those with
previous experience before I trusted one to give me time signals on a
transoceanic voyage.
