Season's Greetings, fellow diehards!

I know you're still there, so thought I'd ask here rather than 
d.service: what time server(s) do you use for ka9q/gremnos/yan 
whatever?

What I've been seeing here (for a long time) is that the response 
from "time auto on" is taking longer and longer, and sometimes 
isn't happening at all.

I've tried ntp.dcu, ntp1.dcu, ntp2.dcu as adverised on Demon's 
website (though "advertised" is perhaps not the right word given 
the trouble I had finding the info!) and also gate.dcu (which I 
found in a CNAME record in domain.txt).

All are as slow to respond as each other, if at all.  Is there a 
reliable public time server available?  Or has NTP changed over 
the years? -- I can believe that it is "my setup", which hasn't.

It's obviously not a huge problem, just a nuisance as news 
doesn't start to flow [automatically] until the time service 
completes.

Cheers,
Pete
