I recognize that my current link to DARA is not very good, but I would be curious to hear how well this service works for others.

Hi, Tyler:

  Thanks.
I wish I had this set up Friday morning.
I lost internet access from ~02:30 to ~10:30L and my WSJTX box wandered 
off as much as 7 1/2 seconds.
I could see, on the waterfall, individual FT8 transmissions spanning the 
15 second slots.

  I have added your NTP service to my mesh NTP service at 
nc8q-mesh-server (a RaspberryPi/Raspbian).
My nc8q-mesh-server uses my home server and a few debian.pool servers 
and, now, your server.
My home server uses a few ubuntu.pool servers.

  So, the next time I lose internet access I will be able to run 
FT8/FT4. :-)

  All local AREDNites are welcome to use nc8q-mesh-server as a NTP server.
