Now lets see -- 4:30 pm - Eastern time - but is that EST or EDT ?? So 1630
EST to UTC is 2130Z - but if its EDT its 2030Z
By same token 5:30 pm becomes either 2130Z or 2230Z .
Now my QST says from first Sunday in April to last Sunday in October UTC is
Eastern Time + 4 hours. And rest of year its Eastern Time plus 5 hours.
So I guess after all that the Net on 20 is at 1630EST plus 4 or 2030Z.
20 meter net at 1730 plus 4 or 2130Z.
I have begged ARRL for several years to PLEASE add a column of UTC to THEIR
schedules - with no success at all. Every year they say " Yep thats a good
idea "- but it never happens. Ever try to figure out when FD messages will
be sent ? When you live in a state that never changes time it further
confuses the issues.
I dunno -- UTC seems so easy to me - just get it from WWV - no
calculations - no looking up is daylight savings there , do they have
daylight savings , no plus or minus an hour etc etc .
