[TenTec] 20m TT Net Time

[Edward Crawford]

What's so confusing about it? Both nets are always on at the same time of day, though not simultaneously.
Mark made a simple mistake that you or I or anyone could have made, and he corrected it. Get over it.
We have five full time net controls and one alternate on the 20 meter net with over 200 stations on the roster.
Not sure how many they have on the 40 meter net.
Why should all these people have to rearrange their Sunday afternoon schedules for half the year to keep these 
nets going? We're not getting paid for it.

  The UTC time should remain the same all year. Why make it confusing?
