Good Evening,
A small sunspot group appeared this week. It was unable to improve
propagation. We had a short taste of the rainy season too. Lows dipped
into the 30s and more leaves fell. The layer of shrubs underneath the
canopy have turned yellow, gold, and red. The fir trees were
But if they want to install a third party time sync program they are
better off installing W3HCF's definitive implementation of the NTP
protocol, rather than a program that was, I believe, really designed for
Windows 3.1/95.

Except, again, MS hacked NTP years ago to lose accuracy to assist their
sloppy legacy networking, with the results being that it's considered
'good' if within several MINUTES. This could explain why some FT8 users
are lagging by a second or two, which is fatal for decoding (plus it's
not 'on'

Actually, there is a third option ... install a proper NTP service
like Meinberg
Or if you will, when you sit down to operate, go to Windows Time and Date and
update the time. More than adequately accurate for several hours of
operation.

There is often a significant gap between Theory and Practice, and such
is the case with using Windows as a self-regulated timepiece. True,
Windows is a well behaved ntp client, but the default interval for
Windows "phoning home" to
There should be very little reason to use Dimension 4, with step updates
at fixed intervals. The full implementation of ntpd is available for
all the Windows NT family, i.e. everything after Windows 95, and
versions or w32time that can be configured to implement the older
version of NTP have
A suggestion I didn't see suggested - mine is ditch the cw readers. If you
use a reader, cw is going to be purely digital and its not meant to be that.Its
not ft8! Yes get over the shy thing too. You won't get a report card on your
Qso ability. You know what they say - the more you do it -
