My setup: Using FT8 V2CR5 on an Optiplex 9010 running Win7 Pro

During the RU I observed WF signals where they were obviously calling me
but they didn't decode. I observed the same to day while running stations
on 7.074. Today I was not in RU mode.

I saw a post that mentioned that DT may be an issue so I ran an experiment
to see what effect it would have. I used TimeFudge v1.0 to nudge the time
on my comuputer in .05 sec increments. I did this while watching the DT on
the signals that I was decoding. As the DT became negative the signals
stopped decoding. They would go from say 0.2 to 0.1 then 0.0 and then they
wouldn't decode. As I continued eventually all the stations stopped
decoding. When I nudged the computer time back up the stations started
coming back.

This explained to me why I was not decoding some stations that were calling
me but it also could be the cause for some of those that said they didn't
copy any signals from the WF. It could be that their computer clock was off
just enough the cause all the signals DT to be negative.
