[Elecraft] Datlight saving

[Jack Brindle]

This one will be a real pain. There are LOTS of devices with clocks  
that use the time change algorithm that has been in use since the  
70s. Every one of those devices will become obsolete. So, just think  
of your favorite devices, such as VCRs, wrist watches, etc. You will  
get to replace them all.

We have a year to get our legislators to reverse this situation and  
bring sanity back...
