[CQ-Contest] CWSS and daylight savings time

[Zack Widup]

IF a contest had start and end times determined by local time and IF the 
contest fell over the weekend the clocks were changed, it might have an 
effect.

Note the summer ARRL VHF contests are shifted in time by an hour compared 
to the winter contest, probably because of DST.  The times are still 
specified in UTC and the contests are the same number of hours.

The 10+ GHz contest IS specified by local time but the two weekends are in 
August and September and the time change weekends aren't even close to 
that.
