[TenTec] Ten Tec Net Frequencies & Times?

[John/K4WJ]

Pual,

0000 begins the new day. It is like 12:00 a.m. (midnight). It is the 
time between 2359 and 0001. :-) How did the military teach you to 
treat the time between 2359 and 0001? Did they pretend it didn't exist?

It is amazing how many OTs still don't use UTC. I mean some ex 
military guys that have been hams since the 50s.

BTW, I was a radio operator in the Navy back in the early 60s.
