[Elecraft] Clock accuracy and JT-65

[Rick WA6NHC]

do NOT trust Windows to set time accurately (and only once a day too).  
They've mangled NTP so badly that it has a five minute accuracy 
window... if you want your computer to be accurate, replace the MS 
client with Meinburg.  Mine stays within a few milliseconds now, easily 
close enough for ham tasks.
