Default Radio controlled clocks and the new DST (mine didn't work)

My clock reset at the proper time just fine. But at local 7 PM Sunday

This Monday morning it was back to the correct DST.

Funny, it did the same rollforward, rollback, rollforward last year.


It's a bug in La Crosse clocks. It comes from having to postpone
events to 2am local when the DST bit is noticed at UTC midnight. They screwed
up the logic so that it thinks it ought to be back on standard time
at the end of the first day of daylight time, as well. The same
thing happens in the fall.
