As many have heard, the U.S. congress is likely to pass legislation making daylight savings time (the time you see in Spring, Summer and Fall), permanent (no more standard time). Ive noticed that man
Well, it would change the times that people would find the band openings. It wouldn't change band conditions. That wouldn't bother me so much. What WILL bother me is not seeing the sun rise until 8:1

Why would it have any effect? For example the CQ 160m contest starts at 2200 UTC. 2200 UTC will be the same darkness regardless of local daylight savings time. Not all parts of the US even switch to
