Yes, these things are all apparent to most of us... just like you'd
think anyone out there should be able to find the program file
directories by breezing through the file structure with explorer. Yet,
folks will still have the wrong time or UTC correction made. It's just
a simple suggesting I was making... there are currently, and always will
be, folks that will miss this. Maybe they're complete idiots not worthy
of running emcomm ops, or maybe they just simply never look at the time
settings on their computer... who knows.
The prompt on startup of fldigi for an op at an emcomm station, maybe on
a computer that is not theirs, would catch the problem and just seems to
be no big deal, at least to me.
Its no problem that this never gets put into FLDIGI. It was only a
suggestion.

Why is that not sufficient?
More to the point, if the computer's clock is wrong, won't it be wrong
for all of the other software that uses it? Why wait until someone runs
Fldigi to check the clock? Someone running a computer for Field Day or
for EmComm should have a nag program to check the clock when the
*computer* starts, not when Fldigi starts.
