Good Afternoon,
This morning, before dawn, I sent a query message about changing the net times. I have gotten many favorable replies. However, there seems to be an error in my times (what else is new?) The proposed Zulu times are what I had intended. But for the 40 meter net I did not change the local time correctly. I want to put one hour between the start times of the two nets instead of the usual two hours. I will make and eat dinner after the nets are done.
==============================
The current times are:
Monday 0000z (Sunday 4 PM PST) 14050 kHz
Monday 0200z (Sunday 6 PM PST) 7045 kHz
This would be the new schedule if there is agreement:
Sunday 2300z (Sunday 3 PM PST) 14050 kHz
Monday 0000z (Sunday 4 PM PST) 7045 kHz
=============================================
A request has been made for a comprehensive listing of time zones. Being lower 48 centric I will stick with the usual Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific time zones. The rest of you will have to fend for yourselves :)
So 3 PM PST is 4 PM MST and 5 PM CST and 6 PM EST
While 4 PM PST is 5 PM MST and 6 PM CST and 7 PM EST
I am glad we do not have really odd time zones like they have in other countries. Some of them are 45 minutes different from the one next to them. I have a hard enough time here. I think if I lived in one of those countries I would simply stick with Hopi time: it is always now. One cannot beat that!
Further comments (or critiques) are requested.
73,
