[Elecraft] WSJT FT8 TX not decoded using K3S TX - Rx ok

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

A strong suggestion from a network engineer.

Major NTP servers like time.nist.gov are the most accurate clocks, but 
they aren't meant for everyone to use -- that's just too much traffic 
and latency hurts their accuracy if they're abused.

A huge number of highly dedicated time-geeks run over four thousand time 
servers around the world.  You can read about this at http://ntppool.org.

Using pool.ntp.org instead of time.nist.gov (or a few dozen other 
awkward choices) will point you to a nearby, highly accurate source of time.
