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?? Always something with shortwave.... |

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. dxAce Michigan USA |

I predict 4 years of increasing confusion as the abomination finds out his liberal socialist ideas don't work. I'm sure you have noticed that the Russians didn't take him up on his defense roll over offer. Why should the russians go for a deal 90% in their favor when they can get 100% out of that pussy we have for president. And Clintoon has done a bang up job with the Chinese begging them to keep on buying USA debt not to mention the brewing fiasco in the middle east. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

In my considered opinion, which I sometimes consider,,, Time as we know
it is a yardstick, a unit of measure.I don't believe there really is any such thingy as Time. This afternoon,I went food shopping at the Gestapo Wal Mart store.I don't wear a wris****ch, but I took my old Timex wris****ch to the Gestapo store for a new battery.That Gestapo woman in that Gestapo store said, I can't take the back off of your wris****ch because it didn't come from Wal Mart! I didn't have anything with me to pry the back off of my old Timex electric wris****ch. Who was that old guy in that old Sean Connery 007 movie? When Sean Connery was in that coffin in Las Vegas and the old guy was cussin 007 out about those phoney diamonds. cuhulin |
