Telling base where, and when, you were
If you're measuring | controlling objects in the physical world (cars, rockets, etc) then you should not use unix time - those glitches will happen and instantaneous computations will go kooky.
You should use a monotonic clock with an arbitrary starting point anyway, unless you need some kind of synchronization between devices, but you probably wouldn't use unixtime there anyway.
So why bring it up then?

Sure. We started doing that more than 50 years ago now when broad area geophysical surveying started off.

Can't see the problem - there are ways of syncing base station records against aircraft | boat | vehicle records in post processing .. all the stations, fixed or mobile, use a monotonic epoch based record structure that hold channel data and any sync marks that are broadcast by whatever means - raw GPS time serves well enough for a grain of 1.5 seconds, other marks can be used as required.
