for all of you who were speaking about what times you listen, here is what
happened to me when I was real young. I heard an advertisement on a shortwave
station for a program I wanted to hear, but at the time, I didn't understand 24
hour time since I had never heard of it before.
However, when I asked about it, either my uncle or my grandpa (maybe both)
explained it to me. and I then understood it.
But I STILL missed the program when I tuned in at the time said to hear it.
I didn't find out until later that the reason why I missed it is even though I
understood 24 hour time, I wasn't aware of different time zones in different
parts of the world.
The time given was in GMT and I was tuning in according to Eastern Time instead
of GMT.
It really all boils down to this. If you were on Mars you could still
tune in the BBC.
