[Elecraft] OT setting your computer to NIST

[Gary Smith]

I've gotten several emails where some believe that using the built-in 
windows internet time update is my easiest solution. Unfortunately, 
it's not; I can not update unless I use a 3rd party program. Here is 
the windows error message I get 100% of the time I try to use windows 
built-in update facility:

It will not update on its own nor when I try to force an internet 
time correction and this has been a problem for a very long time; 
using an outside synchronizing solution is my only remedy. I can't 
help but assume others have the same problem & want accurate time on 
their computer so I offered the solution I found and there have been 
several alternatives suggested. Whichever works accurately is the 
solution to getting the right time on the computer.

Back to Field day :D
