> Remember way back, when everybody in the U.S. switched from Daylight
Saving Time to Normal Time on Saturday night of the CQ WW SSB contest?
>
> Well, thanks to the geniuses in the U.S. Congress, who extended Daylight
Saving Time by a week or so, SS CW starts at 5 p.m. Eastern Time (instead of
4 p.m.). I suppose it starts later in the Central, Mountain, and Pacific
time zones, too.

> If I am wrong/confused about this, attribute it to my having grown up in
Indiana, where time is relative to what county you live in.
>
> Does this mean that we can operate only 23 hours instead of 24? Or is it
25 hours? Do we get more sleep overnight?
>
> Does anybody really know what time it is?
>
> Maybe we should have an SS Practice between 2000Z and 2100Z. If we all
send CW near the speed of light, will SS start later still?
