Hi Ross.....I quite often see this kind
of thing happening with odd calls and also wrong grids.. after doing some searching i have noticed that the DT on the the decode line will be either 1.5 plus or -1.0 and below this means that the calling station has a clock sequence problem he is either starting too early hence the -1.0 or starting too late and shows 1.5 plus on 20m a good example is FK8HG ..he will start off at approx 0.6 and within a few minutes his sig start to show the DT climbing a few minutes ago he was showing 2.1 as he is close to my QTH he starts throwing up spurious decodes as he is showing sig strength -02 and getting towards +05 at times EU stations often show bad DT readings also....i have e-mailed a couple of my local friends when their clocks have shown bad DT and the have changed their clock programs and fixed it i am using WSJT-X by K1JT which is very sensitive to those problems i'll bet those "clowns" dont have good clock software as it is a big problem wth Windows......im using Linux where most modern distros auto install and setup NTP time software....very accurate too asi said these are my observations there may be some other things going on too 73 David VK4BDJ
