GM,
The Tampa ARC used Ublox8 GPS dongles and software (which allows for syncing
either by dongle or NTP Server) to sync to the GPS sats during the contest for
two stations; the third synced to WWV by ear and still stayed pretty close. $16
each from Amazon for the dongles is a real

It's completely reasonable (or should I say expected) that when one installs

The things I read on this list that ops want WSJT to do amazes me.

Hi Jim
Consider what would happen,
Why actually set the computer clock? Just compute an offset for the local
clock based on the mean (or median) of the DT of the decoded messages. Then
use this offset within WSJT-X to adjust the time used in the software from
the actual computer clock.

Thanks for comments. I totally agree the GPS solution, just everybody
needs to do so! I have one.
Actually I did not proposed, at least not before testing, any addition
or change into WSJTX. I just proposed a method more useful here, the
other side of pond, were WWV etc. are not so strong and
Do not understand all the ragging about other people’s incorrect computer time.
It’s their problem, not ours (mine). I simply avoid them and they miss out on a
contact. Now that out of adjustment time is flagged, it’s a non issue.
BTW if all returns are flagged as out of sync it’s your
I also agree with Fred, why do we constantly focus on reinventing the wheel?
WWV or other world time services and a mouse click will even work. A Cheap
CASIO watch has NIST time in it for $30. (works well Stateside).
The GPS dongles are dirt cheap and some even come with time setting
software.

This posting by Fred gets my vote - easy, fool proof and does not distract the
dev team.

You are all overthinking the problem. There are programs to set your computer
clock by a GPS dongle. A good plug in dongle from Amazon is $12USD and the
program I use BktTimeSync is a free download.
Also if the dev group keeps adding more n more WSJT will become bloatware. I'd

A very good idea to set up time beacons, Reino! I like this approach!
However, as a short-term solution IMO dev team should find a way to use the
EXISTING data set of DT values for a pop-up saying that very likely time is
not synced correctly, plus an option to correct time by one click. Look
Hi,
We are amateurs and could provide another time distribution experiment
especially during Field Day events. I mean setting up time beacon or beacons
that send e.g. every 15 s a short pulse, say 100 ms, on the base carrier
frequency e.g. 14.080 MHz. Timing of that pulse could be 'minute mark
with anything requiring some rather deep learning. If you don’t do
something every month, you won’t remember it.

We need to provide an indication in WSJT-X when clocks are off like

We need to provide an indication in WSJT-X when clocks are off like this.
With concurrence I can do a patch for thismy idea is this.
