Interesting. Back in the "old days" of JT65, if the DT's I saw were approximately zero mean, I figured that meant my clock was about right. During the FT8 RU, I never saw any negative DT decodes, and I worried that my clock was fast, in spite of checking it before the contest. Maybe some clock nudg

Hi Bill, As you noted, these latencies won't cancel out -- they'll be cumulative. One reason why I don't see this as a very big issue is that whatever these latencies (and additional ones from the receiver itself) may be, they are *very* unlikely to be as large as the uncertainty we have alw
