As several have pointed out, GMT is effectively the same as UTC.
If we're being really pedantic, there is a subtle difference involving
partial leap seconds, and the fact that the earth does not rotate at a
precisely constant rate. There is a very convenient and definitive
explanation of different time systems (including GMT, UTC, TAI, UT0,
UT1, UT2, and others) by Rick Fisher (KE8DH) of the National Radio
Astronomy Observatory at
