The recent debate about contest start and finish times and a wish to
improve my shack technology (from using the speaking clock) has prompted
me to ask the following;
1. Somebody mentioned using internet time servers. I've never been able
to get these to work. Is there a simple and foolproof way of doing it
from the UK? (I'm not very PC literate).
2. I've seen these surplus Trimble GPS frequency standards available on
the internet which look an ideal way of getting a good frequency
standard for Test equipment and transceivers - especially on
VHF/microwave both at home and /P.

Does anybody know of a relatively simple software/hardware way of also
using the GPS time output, which they presumably must also have
available, to lock up the PC clock?
Thanks
