This is one of the reasons I am supporting the movement to eliminate all
this Daylight Savings Time stuff. It is simply un-necessary to have it
and creates confusion like Dick experienced. Most of my clocks in the
house are set to UTC anyway.
UTC times are not suppose to change when DST is implemented but people
often do it anyway. 1200UTC should be 1200UTC no matter the DST or the
time zone, as an example.
Just my opinion folks.

I have enjoyed working the NS RTTY sprint Thursday evenings at 0145z to
0215z { which is 8:45 pm to 9:15 pm here in MO DST.). I set up for the
event the past 3 Thursdays and each time I could not find any calls and no
sign of the contest. Last evening it suddenly hit me what the problem was.
When DST changed to Central Standard Time in Missouri I set all my clocks
back to be on the correct time but my brain was still telling me 8:45 to
9:15 pm. You guessed it, I missed the NS by being an hour late. Hopefully I
can reset my brain to Zulu time and be around at 7:45 to 8:45 to be in the
next NS RTTY.
