A Way to Time Sync Your PC with A
GPS
For WSJT etc.
software
JT44 requires aprox 1.5 second timing accuracy to
work. Since I will be
on a mountaintop this weekend, I needed a
way to get Atomic Clock
accuracy without an internet connection.
I
found an excellent app at http://www.kaska.demon.co.uk/
called Tardis
2000. It uses the standard internet
time servers as well as any GPS
that supports NEMA output. I'm using a
Garmin EMAP and it works very
nicely. This will be great for anyone who
wants to try JT44 -- even
perhaps a rover who is stopped for the night in a
good location who
wants to try some long-haul tropo.
Tardis is a
networked app, and can serve as a time server, driving such
programs as
AtomTime. So if your a multiop and you have networked
connectivity,
you can use it to time sync the entire network.
I'm still looking for
anyone interested in trying a long-haul tropo
sked in the wee hours via
JT44... anybody interested? Let me know
and I'll stick it in between
HSMS and EME skeds.
