Default US set to switch back to daylight savings time, UTC confusion

I figure this is always a good time to confuse people about shortwave.
The US goes back to daylight savings time this sunday at 2am. Europe I
think does it the first week in April. Who knows about the rest of the
world.

This will be interesting to see how the broadcasters adjust to this.
Do they maintain UTC time? Do they follow the US time switch? Do they
follow the European time switch? Or do they do what they do now, which
is total unpredictability and chaos??


Unpredictability and chaos!! Instead of what once was the "week of confusion" we
now have the "weeks of confusion" where schedules are all jumbled up due to time
changes, and everyone drifts about as if in a dream.


They like the chaos.
