One thing I never saw mentioned here (it may be obvious but)...

While it will have an effect on local (i.e. non-ham radio activity 
time), the DST change will have no effect on propagation.  SS will start 
at exactly the same time relative to sunset as it has every other year, 
neither one hour earlier or later.
