AW: [Meteor-Scatter] Perseids and operating procedures!

-> Timing, WSJT very poor UTC correlation. Only 30s period and some +/-10
-> second errors observed, resulting in complete chaos on 370. There are
-> numerous utilities available to set the pc clock via the Internet, MSF
-> etc clocks are cheap and Teletext time sources are available. There
-> isn't really an excuse for incorrect timing. I have seen the PC clock
-> slip and stutter when running DXtelnet in another window so keep an eye
-> on the timing, don't assume it's always good.

I am using Dimension 4, which corrects the clock every 15 minutes - or
whatever one set it up for.
One can actually select many sources of standard signals, and by comparing
several, I found that
the DCF clock was some 10 seconds off set (!), probably because of poor
reception.
