WSPR doesn't require tight synchronization, but it does require pretty stable frequency sources over periods of 10s of seconds.

It is very common to integrate a GPS in a WSPR beacon to discipline the transmit frequency, but with modest thermal management, very ordinary crystal oscillators have very nice stability.
