Expanded UTC Page
 

Hello:

I have recently expanded the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) page on my web
site (http://www.spacearchive.info/utc.htm).

I would appreciate it if you would carefully read the page for technical
accuracy and send me your comments.

Brian,
What I read of it looked good. On your section on GPS time, you might
note that GPS time does not include the leap-seconds that clock time
does. I believe that there are now 14 leap seconds difference between
GPS time and clock time, but that should be verified (it might be 16).
The handheld GPS receivers I have seen, correct for the difference
before displaying the time. Industrial units may provide either at your
option. I believe that you can get 50 nS accuracy out of the industrial
units (specifically the old Motorola Oncore series).

I was curious and looked it up, as of Jan 1, 2006 GPS time leads clock
time (UTC) by 14 seconds. There is a good web page he

Hallo Brian:

Am I in a time warp of some kind, or is your table all messed up. I'm
talking about your conversion of time zones

Ummmm, no.

Towit you have the eastern time zone 7 hours ahead of Zulu time. My
gawd man can I get the same time machine you have?

The version of the page dated 2006 April 2 has the following:

PST PDT MST MDT CST CDT EST EDT UTC
4 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 6 p.m. 6 p.m. 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 8 p.m. 00:00

Which is correct, showing the EST as being 5 hours BEHIND UTC (or 19
hours ahead if you think mod24)

Lastly your conversion table doesn't have all Canadian time zones eh?
Guess Newfoundland doesn't exist in your reality eh?


That is true -- nor does it include time zones for Alaska, Hawaii and
the Aleutians.

Computer software consists of only two components: ones and
zeros, in roughly equal proportions. All that is required is to
sort them into the correct order.

Ok then I guess your use of both 24 hour desigator for UTC and 12 hour
times for local time zones warped me out, and might be confusing. Towit
if UTC was shown as 12 AM it might have struck me.
