Mike,

It doesn't do much good to be "in-your-face" about clock synchronization
issues to the receivers of signals which are off by too high a delta,
because it's the sender that needs their clock adjusted, not the receiver.

However, your attention to the issue gives me an idea... If an instance of
WSJT-X sees that most (90%) of remote signals it sees are too far off from
its own, the chances are is that it's *the local user's* clock that needs
adjusting, and that user could be alerted to sync their clock in that case.

What do you think?
