Hi Charlie,

Some time servers are bad, and Tardis will grab a bad time off them.  Once I
logged a bunch of QSOs 91 minutes off because I got a bad time from a server. 
It was only luck that I noticed the problem.

There is a setting in Tardis called "Maximum Correction Allowed" which should
prevent this from happening, i.e. it would just ignore a bad server and set the
time at the next interval.
