An early April 1 post? Legislation may change local time. It will not
change propagation, UTC time, or sunrise/sunset as measured by UTC :-)

Now, ARRL code practice and bulletins are scheduled on local time, and a
change to permanent DST may either alleviate or increase W1AW collsions
with CWT's (Wed), NS Sprints (Thurs), and 0000Z Saturday (Friday night NA
time) contests depending on where the activity is at the time.
