[UK-CONTEST] Timing

[BCSLLEWELLYN at aol.com]

Hi All
 
 
I always use my desktop PC for logging contests and the PCs time is  
controlled by Tardis (time server) Using this I can keep my timing accurate to  
.0001 of a second, nothing difficult about that!
 
I also have an RF clock in shack as a backup.  I use EI5DI logger and  this 
programs time is again controlled by Tardis.
 
I need to keep accurate timing more for MS and EME QSOs.
 
When contest time ends (like last nights 2m UKAC at 2230 and Zero Seconds I 
 just said that' it folks and shut down. Not difficult.
 
I also get delibereate jamming at times but I can cope with that I canm  
turn my antennas 3 degrees and totally lose a "jammer" so again not difficult. 
 Sometime I believe the "jamming " is caused by stations who are just deaf 
and  dont actually hear me on the GFrewuency.
 
One I start a contest I rarely change freuency This helps because  stations 
all over near EU know where to find me.
 
Thanks everyone for all the points last night, l noticed comments about  
poor conditions, but here on my hilltop site I managed 12 countries and 37 
grids  so I thought conditions were quite reasonable. 
 
Thanks again everyone
