[CQ-Contest] Effect of daylight savings on 160 meter contests

[Naumann, Robert, W5OV]

As most contests are started and ended at a specific time in UTC, I would not expect to see *any* changes made.

The local time in Standard or Daylight Savings is irrelevant when using UTC.

As many have heard, the U.S. congress is likely to pass legislation making daylight savings time (the time you see in Spring, Summer and Fall), permanent (no more standard time).

Ive noticed that many 160 meter contests have a start time that seems to match that with sunset on the U.S. east coast and midwest.

Any thoughts as to if we will see a change to 160 meter contest start times in 2023?
