[MVMA] Stratum 1 NTP Server

[Jim Bacher, WB8VSU]

Chuck, if your wsjt computer gets its ntp data from a local server, it should not have drifted. I am assuming you have wsjt running on a Raspberry Pi, which doesn't have any built in time reference. And the server is a traditional computer with a built in time reference. 

If I am correct that means your local server might have an issue. It would be worth taking a look at the ntp logs on the server.
