Hi John, Ive been using the US gov time clock as the time check. The hours are totally wrong(time zone for Australia) but the minutes and seconds are good.I figure I will notice if my watch will lose or gain hours. One thing I have noted is the accuracy of the time clock as stated by the site.At one stage it said it was accurate within 4.5 seconds.That was the time zone of US Samoa.Do you think this will have any bearing on the results.

I was thinking time.gov could be set to ANY timezone? Your approach is correct though with regard to just paying attention to the minute and second. It's usually accurate to less than a second when I use it. Are you on dial up?
Are you seeing VERY inconsistent results? If so, it could be due to the problems you're seeing. An alternative might be to set one of your quartz watches to the attomic clock time, and just synch up with the quartz for the remainder of study...assuming you have one.

Yes I am on dial up,however I have been checking some of the other US time zones and found that their stated accuracy is 1.0 second or better so I have been double checking and using the most accurate.Once again the hours may vary but the minutes and seconds are the same. Aaron P.S. times seem to be fairly consistent
Have I missed out somewhere? I can't seem to find the Excel sheet in my inbox or is it on the way?
Incidentally I place dmy humble efforts in Gp 1 and the observations were in line with expectations until recently.....
See ya

I've been traveling quite a bit, but look for the spreadsheet in your Inbox later this evening.
