What is Z time
 

Hi,
I am very new to short-wave radio and am enjoying it very much. I am a
little confused when people say things like 2200z, is this GMT or another
time zone
sorry to sound thick, but this got me stumped.
cheers

Yes it is the same, sometimes referred to as Zulu time, UTC or GMT.
