[Fourlanders] GPS Clock and Network Time

[Jim Worsham]

I checked out the website.  Very cool.  By the way, I was very impressed by
how well the server/GPS setup worked on the mountain.  It worked great and
was solid as a rock.  I don't recall a single instance of writelog at the
432 station loosing the network except for the time that Bert accidentally
unplugged the network cable from the laptop!  We have struggled with keeping
a reliable network up and running on the mountain for several years.  I
think using a server is the way to go from now on!  Now that we have
reliable time available I plan to try out WSJT next year.  I suggest the
other bands think about doing that also.
