[VHFcontesting] a new Strategy for home and club stations

[James Duffey]

Nate - You are strictly correct. But, some OSes and NTP programs keep  
track of how much time it adjusts for when you are connected to a time  
server and adjust the operating clock accordingly even it it is not  
able to access a NTP server.

Actually, I usually hit a few places that have internet access along  
the way when I rove. Restaurants, motels, coffee shops. A quick  
connect is all that it takes to get the time synced again.

Also, if one uses a GPS, the time can be determined from that and the  
computer's clock set.

But there really shouldn't be any reason why one can't have a clock  
that is accurate to  a minute or better over the course of the  
contest. There are lots of options.

Nice to see you this weekend at HamCon. Point the beams south and  
listen for the weak ones this contest. - Duffey
