In the latest view on this subject - a local writer suggested that the
Federal Government eliminate Daylight Saving Time to reduce the amount of sunlight
by about 9% which would slow down the "Global Warming which would help save
the Earth" She meant it.

Uhh, that doesn't make sense at all. Like Mal said, sunlight and
propagation (and the contest) run on UTC, not local time. They haven't
changed relative to each other. Why is that so difficult to understand?
I grew up in Minnesota, and this entire discussion reminds me of when
DST was first being debated in the legislature there. Some rural
lawmakers were against it because they said the time change would
confuse the cows and they wouldn't know when to come in for milking.
Some urban lawmakers were against it because they said the extra hour of
daylight would burn the grass. I'm not kidding ... you could probably
find these comments documented in the newspaper archives or even.
