If you are seeing 20-minute clock skew on a VM, then you should really set
up ntp.
Amateur radio operators have a significant time skew problem
when using certain digital modes (Key words: FT8, FT4, wsjt-x,
and wsjt). To successfully complete a decode, the sender and
receiver's clocks must be within 1/2 to 1 second of each other.
For the majority of operators, NTP is "good enough". Some
operations, particularly those in locations without Internet
access, use atomic clocks or GPS time.
