Re: NTP question

Kinda sucks all the good 'backup' methods of time keeping are dwindling.

I've got a WWVB clock as well that I'd love to get hooked into my main 
NTP server, but I worry they're going to finally kill that off in the 
next year or so.

LORAN C clocks still have potential to work well too...


High accuracy time keeping is a fun hobby.  :)
