Hello All,

Rik in a recent posting mentioned the timing inaccuracies of PC clock cards.Now I may be getting out of my depth here!but MSF Rugby puts out a time signal accurate to 1pt in a million,with long term correction to take care of drift.Surely other countries have similar systems(WWV for example.So why cant we use a cheap clock module £20 in the UK extract 1sec pulses to sync our QRSS and ARGO systems? Is this too naive?. I would like eventually to be able to use the equivalent of 10secs dots in order to make DX contacts a more realistic possibility. 73s Laurie.
