Re: [wsjt-devel] Someone released an Auto CQ mod - and Neil's 2 cents

[Georg]

Well, my WSJTx receives 24/7 and fully automatically sends all received 
stations to PSK-reporter...

I know there is a difference... but I don‘t understand all the fuss. 

Bots are easily recognizable. So just ignore them or use them to your 
advantage.

Re: [wsjt-devel] question and/or feature request

David, 

if you want to see what is going on during time sync, you can use 
„terminal.app" in your Mac:

open it and type:

sudo ntpdate -u time.apple.com


Hit ENTER

you will be asked for a password which is the password you use to login. You 
need to be an administrator.

It takes a couple of seconds. The time on your mac will be adjusted and it also 
shows how much is was corrected.

HI David,

the NTP time sync protocol doesn't just keep your machine synchronized with an 
accurate Internet time source, it also tries to guarantee monotonic time 
increments. This can mean that when the inaccuracy is a lot, perhaps after an 
extended period with no network connection or shut down, the clock cannot be 
stepped directly to the server time. For example the monotonicity requires that 
backward steps are not allowed so tiny adjustments must be made between 
internal clock ticks until synchronization is achieved. When you go to the Date 
and Time preferences panel macOS assumes you are happy to accept a large step, 
backwards or forwards, and will correct the time immediately.
