[Skimmertalk] time sync?

[Kevin Rowett]

as longtime time-lord, I echo Bob’s note to use the pool servers.

Also, if your product allows, enter more than one server.
0.pool.ntp.org
1.pool.ntp.org

Cuts down  vulnerability  to falsetickers.

For a true WIN10 system:
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:"0.pool.ntp.org 1.pool.ntp.org 2.pool.ntp.org 3.pool.ntp.org"

Time.windows.com <http://time.windows.com/> seems to work on the ones that time.nist.gov <http://time.nist.gov/> fails on, but I’m not sure how accurate it is.  I have 2 machines that run wsjt-x when nothing else is happening and 2 machines that run cw skimmer server and rtty skimmer server 24/7, plus the n1mm+ logging network that needs to sync to something for multi-op contests, plus 2 webcams that time stamp photos that I would like to be at least reasonably close.
