Yep… clock is 100% of the time linked to NBS site. Usually within better than
0.1 seconds.

Not much better here.. 4 stations, 4 grids in 3.5 hours.
Is your computer clock syncing?

I need to find more words to describe how bad it was trying to work the 432
Sprint Wednesday night. We had very heavy rain most of the day and into
the beginning of the Sprint. Propagation did not exist. I worked exactly
1 contact in the first hour and then one more before I gave up completely 90
minutes in. On top of the poor propagation Murphy apparently got to my
station and I am not sure what he hosed up. Everything looks like it
should be working, but I am not able to decode even the strongest FT8
signals. I've tried program restarts and even switched rigs with no
improvement. It's possible I have some undiscovered computer issues based
on CAT interface problems as well.
Bottom line is I worked 2 contacts in 1 grid.
