[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement - the next version

[kevinr at coho.net]

It used to be: Spring ahead, Fall back.  Now it is Winter ahead, Fall 
back.  Except in parts of Indiana and the entire state of Arizona.  I 
once crossed the Hoover Dam to have a two hour time difference at the 
other side.  That was odd!
