[Elecraft] Mac Clock Question

[Bill Frantz]

I just run my Internet connected Mac with the defaults and I 
have no problems with timing on FT8. I use the "Apple 
Americas/U.S. (time.apple.com)" NTP server which works fine. I 
don't go through any of the unlock reenter stuff. I just use it 
as Apple delivered it. If I go to Europe or Asia it's probably 
worth selecting the local NTP server.
