[Lowfer] " XR " Saturday WSPR

[Douglas D. Williams]

I found the problem on my end. My computer clock had gotten off by
just enough (4 seconds?) to not be able to decode WSPR signals
anymore, in spite of the fact that I had Dimension 4 running and set
to syncronize my clock every hour with NIST. It seems there was some
sort of conflict with my Windows 7 based time server, and Dimension
was not syncronizing. I turned off the Windows Internet Time Server
syncronization (which didn't seem to work anyway), and now Dimension 4
seems to be syncronizing correctly. It just took this long (a week?)
for my computer clock to be off enough to not decode WSPR anymore. I
am copying Andy just fine now. I can even hear his signal audibly.

Sorry if I caused any frustration, Andy. ;-)
