This is \npossibly why my clock got off by about +30 seconds. I often check my \nPC's clock against the WWV clock on my wall, especially when tracking \nbirds. It's now on to within a second. If it got off by more than 2 or \n3, I'd want to corrected it; the problem is not Doppler, it's a near \noverhead pass (that's when I discovered the PC time error). Plus, I \nwant correction automatic and not have to mess with it for a long time. \nI believe the once-a-week default in Win7 for syncing PC time with \nInternet server time is too loose. Once a day or even once an hour \nseems better to me.\n\n73, Larry W7IN\n\nOn 5/9/2010 7:05 PM, Greg D. wrote:\n> Hi Larry,\n>\n> I know PC clocks are not all that accurate, but we're talking seconds \n> per month.
