Get a VK-162 G-Mouse available on Amazon from various vendors for about $15. It is recognized by Windows and creates a virtual com port, making it usable by ntp, which the WSJT installation documentation recommends being installed. No RFI problems. Add the following two lines to ntp.conf:

Wouldn’t a simple glance at the Wide Graph provide clear evidence of timing errors? Even without WWV, GPS, or software changes, it seems trivial to identify the error and walk in a correction. George J Molnar College Park, Maryland KF2T | FM19ma

Every ham with a modern HF rig has a simple, accurate, and reliable way of getting the correct time. It's called WWV. If you can't hear WWV on at least one frequency you either need to do some more antenna work or the bands are in such bad shape you won't make many contacts anyway. Other

Like you said the issue here is getting an accurate reference time. Two options you might consider: 1. If you’re internet connected you could get time a trusted over network time protocol (NTP) 2. In outdoor setting (sounds like it is more applicable) you can get a trusted time from a GPS

I was at a monthly outdoor ham event in the greater St. Paul/Minneapolis area that's drawn loyal attendance the past few years. An operator setup FT8 outdoors, but had some issues getting it to decode. We could tell it was getting sound from his port, but there was no decoding. He was using
