[TenTec] Toney you have explained a solution for my XYL's dilemma!

[Tony Lelieveld]

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your reply.  I was actually quoting what I have seen on several websites where they indicated that GMT was Time zone zero (0).  I had never heard of it and that's why I mentioned "true or not".  I realize that it was originally called GMT because of the Royal Greenwich Observatory which lies on the zero degree of Longitude.  When the time changes to BST, I presume that Greenwich also moves one hour.  So... there goes the GMT up in smoke as far as a reference to the time of the Royal Observatory of Greenwich.  Just being facetious here hi...hi.
I actually prefer UTC or Zulu as it is not referenced to anything by a "worldly" name.  Not trying to start a BIG debate over this.  I just wished that nobody went to summer time so we only have to content with "Time Zones" hi....hi.
73, Tony VE3DWI.
