[amsat-bb] Re: PC clock

[Larry Gerhardstein]

Thanks all for the many many replies, (almost too many to count) both 
here and off-list, to my post about PC time being in error.  After 
considering many, I have taken the advice of Mike DK3WN and Alan VE4YZ 
and performed the registry edit they both recommended.  I have my PC now 
updating time once every hour, a 3600 second delta.  So far, my PC time 
is no more than one second off compared to WWV time.  I do not like 
messing with the windows registry, but in this case, it was sound 
advice.  Tnx and 73,
