[RTTY] Dumb stunt

[Thom]

This is one of the reasons I am supporting the movement to eliminate all 
this Daylight Savings Time stuff.  It is simply un-necessary to have it 
and creates confusion like Dick experienced. Most of my clocks in the 
house are set to UTC anyway.

UTC times are not suppose to change when DST is implemented but people 
often do it anyway.  1200UTC should be 1200UTC no matter the DST or the 
time zone, as an example.

Just my opinion folks.
