Even relatively low-end GPS hardware can do this now.

That's my recipe for a GPS-based Stratum 1 server built from a RasPi and
any one of several generally-available GPS daughterboards.  Cost less than
$100.

A window location works just fine.  I have six of these on the
windowsill above my desk - they're my test fleet for NTPsec. The trees
near the outside of that window aren't a problem, and while it isn't
*guaraneed* that you have a 4-satellite lock at any ven time periods
of no tracking tend to be short.
