I can heartily recommend the QRP-Labs wspr beacon kit with GPS. It pull the time from an attached GPS module and will beacon on 2m and below. Once assembled and configured with your callsign and the bands you want to xmit on it Just Plain Works. It can even provide 1pps out.
Pick the right GPS module and you get 10MHz out as well!
