>This weekend Daylight Saving Time begins in the United States.  In
>most places in the United States at 2 AM local time on Sunday March
>9th citizens will move their clocks forward one hour.  That's fine to
>move your local time but do not change your GMT clocks!  GMT never
>adjusts, other than a leap second.  So for example here in the Eastern
>Standard Time (EST) zone we go from being five hours behind GMT to
>four hours (EDST) behind.  While we are on the subject all Amateur
>Radio operators should be logging all QSOs in GMT and using GMT on
>their QSL cards for the time and the date!  As a reminder all
>references to time in The Daily DX are in GMT or Zulu, unless
>otherwise stated.  This includes the dates and times!  For more
>information on GMT, Zulu and UTC check out
>http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/info/timezone.htm.

>While you are going around the house changing your local time clocks
>check all of your smoke and carbon detectors in your house.  If it
>runs on AC electricity make sure it works.  If it runs on a battery,
>take the battery out and replace it with a brand new battery.  Your
>life and your family members are worth more than the price of a
>battery!
