[Elecraft] Clock Accuracy and Outlook 2010 conversation deletion

[Bill K9YEQ]

In case anyone is interested.  I loaded Outlook 2010.  What a wonderful
piece of software.  I sort by conversations.  I went from multiple messages
under the Clock topic to just a couple conversations  and was able to
two-click them away to the deleted folder.

Agreed about the clock. It's hard to imagine any logging software that can't
do a time sync with a NIST server, unless you're in the boonies. 
My wristwatch claims to sync with WWV nightly.
I'm not sure what leeway LoTW (or some contests) allows for matching but it
might be as tight as 30 seconds.
