Noooooooooooo! That changes as well.

You are confusing UTC/GMT with the time used in the UK.

Not a big surprise...

The dxDufus normally lives in a state of confusion. Anyway, you would
think one who has been in the game as long as Lare and who claims to be
an "ace" wouldn't make such a basic error.

Hmmm...maybe that means he's NOT such an "ace".

That's a given!
It's a bit like countries that call themselves the "Democratic Republic
of"... whatever ... are usually as far from democracy as they can get.
DX Ace is about as far from being an ace as it is possible to get and he
just keeps on proving that time and time again.

Will the boy ever learn?

Of course I do! I can listen to the radio AND yank chains as well!

The amazing dxAce!

Chains are not the only thing the DX ACE yanks... He won't be able to
read the dial on his radio soon!

Maybe he'll keep yanking until he just needs glasses, not go completely
blind.

Yep, just as I predicted, the Viking golf classic at Annandale Golf
Course in Madison (Madison is a suburb city, North side of Jackson) was
rained out today, for the third day in a row.In the last six weeks,
Madison has received over twenty inches of rain.Jackson has received
about that much rain too.Just ask my little couch buddy doggy if y'all
don't believe me.

I discovered that I had misconfigured the DST offset awareness
in the Garmin and it does indeed recognize the DST flag.

They still had Western Union clocks at the network affiliates when I was
a kid. They set themselves via telegraph line.

I have a lot of old, old, old, wind up clocks and electric clocks.One of
them I am looking at right now is small, but it is very heavy, it says,
The Measuregraph Company
St.Louis.U.S.A.
1922

Another old clock I have is what I think is called a Watchman's Clock,
it is inside of a leather case. A Watchman, or a Guard, would make his
rounds, doing Guard duty.He would go from place to place and insert a
key into the clock and turn the key so as to prove he wasen't sleeping
on the job.Another old clock I have is a Hotel clock.There are a lot of
little levers (which can be slid back and forth) all around the dial of
the clock.

I have more old clocks (and quite a few old wris****ches) and old radios
and many other kinds of weird old thingys than you can shake a stick at,
and that is the Truth.

Maybe that's how those old school clocks got synched,
the ones whose hands moved visibly faster until they read correctly?
Supposed to happen during the night but after an electrical storm blackout, you
could see it happen during class.

That's a Honeywell kind of clock; way more sophisticated. The big
Western Union clocks ran on A batteries and had a pendulum.
