    Moving on, my posts are not helpful

    Funny, I thought my fellow hams would agree with me, stay on ST because in North America it starts with Atlantic GMT-4, and ends with Pacific GMT-8, count your time zones. Changing to DT messes up the progression with those areas that don't change and really confuses Amateurs who at least SHOULD operate in GMT (fuk the French with UT and metric). GMT is Amateur Radio Time round the world, why be different and confuse them? Why do you think WWV broadcasts in GMT? I agree with a statement attributed to an unnamed American Indian: "Only the White Man's government would cut a foot off the top of a blanket, and sew it to the bottom thinking he has a bigger blanket." Have you forgotten why it was originally called railroad time? How can you keep a schedule without a standard... standard time?

    So there you have it, my usual $2 worth. (;->)

    daylight time all year round. there's no good reason to switch back and forth (and, tbh, it's not clear there ever *was* a good reason to do this).

    Farmers. 1800's. Now it's just tradition and "just the way it's always been."
