[Elecraft] K3 and JT65

[Don Wilhelm]

Another easy to use application for setting the Windows clock 
automatically is to use Atomic Clock Sync - it is freeware and available 
from http://www.worldtimeserver.com/atomic-clock/.
You can configure it to adjust the time daily or when Windows is 
started, and/or  manually initiated by clicking the Ping Now button.
