It's not important with all of them, but some, like JT65 and JT9, that 
use very strong error correction use algorithms that are somehow linked 
to start times. Other modes like MSK144 designed for meteor scatter 
don't care about time, but instead are looking for the data repeated at 
very short intervals so that you can get it in a very brief reflection.

It's worth the time to read through K1JT's excellent help file for 
WSJT-X, which describes the various modes.
