[Elecraft] Clock Accuracy

[john at kk9a.com]

I cannot imagine starting a contest two minutes before everyone else  
or ending it two minutes later.

My laptop, which I use for FT8, fires up about 2.5 seconds off. That's
unusable for FT8, which is why I use Meinberg NTP to sync it.  I
couldn't care less if it was 2 minutes off for logging (even for
contesting), but for FT8 it should be, as you say, 0.5 seconds or better
for best results.  Meinberg (which is free) puts me within one or two
tenths of a second of everyone else.
