Now that Daylight savings time has been extended into November, have the times for the CWSS been changed accordingly? Both of the SS contests used to start at 3pm local and end at 10pm local, but if
2100Z is 2100Z. Nothing's changed. 73, de Hans, K0HB -- _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/
I would think that they would be the same UTC, regardless of anyone's local time. They always went 1PM to 7PM for me. :-) Any 1 persons local time should be irrelevant. -- -- 73, Craig Cook - N7OR in
I believe most programs take their time based on windows time and time zone settings so I expect it is also important that the windows box have the new DST patch so the offset calculation can be prop
Well what about me and my contesting friends here in AZ? We don't do DST. For whatever it's worth GMT also doesn't do DST... 73 MAL N7MAL BULLHEAD CITY, AZ http://www.n7mal.com Now that Daylight savi
Is there any serious Sweepstaker whose station computer clock is set to local time? I keep mine on GMT (that's UTC to you young fellas) with "daylight time" setting locked out. Local time is irreleva
And that is why the Windows and I assume MAC OS as well as Linux machines, allow you to make distinct local settings including Canada's NL which is 3 1/2 hours off-set from GMT. Bottom line: if you h
Actually it is relevant.. Here in the central zone ( W9 ), it always began 3 PM local ( 2100Z), and ended 9 PM local ( 0300Z). Now, 2100Z is 4 PM local. Time change is 2 AM Sunday morning, local, so,
That's true if you don't have your logging computer set to UTC (Monrovia time zone so there is no DST adjustment). 73 Hank K8DD -- 'Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then b
Windows? I have windows looking out to the outside. It's beautiful outside. Will I have a problem with my computer clock? N5OT TRlog or bust _______________________________________________ CQ-Contes
My original pondering was whether the ARRL was going to change the UTC rules for the CW SS so it would start at the same time as it always has in the past. I realize that daylight savings time has no
We start an hour later than normal, the way I see it. Am I right? 2100Z during DST is 4 PM local ( central ) 2100Z after DST is 3 PM local ( central ) 73-Chuck KI9A The way I understand it, we will s
Despite all the talk about daylight savings time and computers, your question was a good one John. I would hate to see the SS start even later! However, since the DST change happens during the contes
In 2009, the clocks will change on November 1st, but SS will take place the following weekend. ARRL would have to change the UTC time again, then change it back again in 2010. Not likely. Three chang
How serious is serious? I won SS05CW for Eastern Mass, Low Power (unassisted) using a wire dipole and multi-band vertical. I beat K1XM with his towers and probably SO2R. Is that serious enough? I use
I am not really worried about the CW SS. I want to know about the CQ WW SSB Contest. As I understand things it will be ending an hour later this year than it did last year. -- George Fremin III - K5T
Hi Jim, I got my first amateur license in the mail just 6 days before I went into the Navy. Naturally, they made a Radioman of me! There was only one time zone in Navy radio -- ZULU. Old habits are
The way I understand it, we will start at the same time (3 PM in the midwest) but then ending time will be one hour earlier on the wall clock (i.e 8 PM in the midwest). After talking to KI9A off line
I do not understand why this is such a hard concept to grasp. Page 102 Oct QST: Morse contest starts at 2100 UTC and ends 0300 UTC. Now if you don't know how to setup your computer for that then that
No, Mal, there is a difference. Normal everyday life is in normal time, not GMT. I work until noon local Saturday, or, 1800z. That gives me 3 hours before SS at 2100z. This year, noon is 1700z. So. n
