Hey Dave, What is the app which puts seconds back on a Win 11 clock? Both
DX Summit (on-line) and AMSAT's SatPC32 (local on your computer) both
display seconds. However, both require your computer's clock to be
accurate. If I use a WSJT program, that also requires an accurate computer
clock. I am getting close to splurging for a GPS controlled clock.
As they were going out of business, I purchased an MFJ-148RC dual WWVB
controlled clock. Unfortunately, it only seems to work continuously when
placed against a wall of my shack; not viewable from the operating
position. I use an old Casio alarm clock from many years ago
which displays seconds. Also, unfortunately like all "crystal controlled"
clocks, it drifts. So I reset it to the WWVB clock before each Tuesday 222
MHz session.
I also have an old Heathkit HF WWV controlled clock which needs a new 120
volt input fuse which is a rare slo-blo variety. This clock requires an
uninterrupted three minutes of signal on 5, 10, or 15 MHz to set itself.
To get three consecutive minutes of that signal from Colorado to this QTH
requires a substantial outdoor antenna. If it doesn't get that signal at
least once a day, it will drift away from the accurate time.
I will not be available for moonrise on Saturday, November 16. Maybe the
next few nights will work. To determine moonrise/set, I use Moonrise,
Moonset, and Moon Phase in Bittinger
<https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/@z-us-21522>. The end of the link can be
changed to anyone's QTH or Lat/Long location. Several weeks ago I
completed an EME QSO with Dave using a single 16 element Yagi and 90 watts
pointed at the horizon, so it doesn't take much.
I could work all those stations on Ron's list if I weren't out in the
boonies of FM09 - hi. WA3EOQ
