I myself gave up using it.  It often ends being tagged as a false
ticker:

State   Remote          Refid   Stratum Type            When    Poll    Reach   
Delay   Offset  Jitter
x       time.windows.com                bonehed.lcs.mit.edu     2       Unicast 
server  182     64      134
114.799 48.332  4.480

Pathetic.  It beats me why NIST even lists it.

Thanks.
