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,

Some of the internet time syncing tools recommended are not compliant with Win 7 64-bit O/S. I will not be chasing those further and hope to edit the time sync service that already exists in Win 7.

My PC's clock keeps getting off by enough to cause problems on near overhead passes. I've seen it off by more than 30 seconds. It is using Internet synchronization, which happens once a week. Is there a way to force Windows 7 to automatically update clock more frequently than once per week. Please don't tell me to monkey with the Windows Registry. I know PC clocks are notoriously inaccurate, but this is ridiculous.
