[TowerTalk] Strange behavior

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

Noon by the clock, or noon by the sun (solar time)?  Depending on 
location, the clock can be nearly an hour off particularly if in a state 
with a skewed time zone, or near the edge of a time zone.  Michigan 
(where I live) is near the Western edge of the Eastern time zone. My 
location is off by nearly an hour between EST and Solar time.
