[K3CAL] Final checklist June 15, 2015/possible correction

[Chip Dahle]

	I believe that there is a 'misunderstanding' on the title page of the  
final version of the checklist.

	on the checklist, the 'Start time is listed as "noon"...I believe  
that by ARRL 'direction' , Field Day can't start til 6:00PM  UTC  
("Corodinated Universal Time or Greenich Mean Time  
[GMT}......sooooooooo  guess what ??...math is needed to convert UTC/ 
GMT to Calvert County 'local'...the quick answer is to get the UTC  
time and subtract 4 hours (compensates for Daylight Saving Time...so  
(again according to ARRL 'direction') we can't  start til 2:00 PM / 
1400 hrs local Calvert County time.

		Also , I believe that ((again according to ARRL 'dirtecton') , we  
can operate til "2100 hrs UTC/GMT" which translates to 5:00 PM/1700  
hrs. local Calvert County time. Based on last years performance/lack  
of interest.. no one knows when we will quit on Sunday

	here's the link to all of this on the time side

	http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html

..unlike some folks in the club, I TRY to provide a reference when I  
pontificate...as in all things like this, check with Ed ...to see if  
he agrees

Thanks
