Hey Thomas,

It's me again :)
I just wanted the thanks you again and to repeat myself that I'm running 
this port since I fond it, and I'm very happy with it.

Here you can see how accurate my stratum 1 server running Chrony and the 
refclock timedelta sensors is:
https://www.ntppool.org/a/don.nasco

I hope that we will have it officially in ports as soon as possible!

Best wishes,
Atanas
