Elecraft CW Net Announcement - the next version

It appears I have missed the change to daylight savings time. Why in
the world did they change it so early?

At any rate stick with the local times and change the Z time.

The sunspot number is low but the solar flux is over 100 which bodes
well for this afternoon's nets.
73,

Re: Elecraft CW Net Announcement - the next version

They moved the length of DST due to energy
conservation issues, Kevin:

"The current schedule was introduced in 2007 and
follows the Energy Policy Act of 2005
<http://www.timeanddate.com/laws/us/energypolicyact2005.html>,
which extended the period by about one month.
Today, DST starts on the second Sunday in March
and ends on the first Sunday in November."

More info here:

You can tell I'm having a slow day :-)

Today, Sunday March 8th, 2015, is the DST Transition day, so-called Spring Forward, so today has only 23 hours. Count them, 23 hours. In the Fall, we have a day with 25 hours.

So, is today a slow day? If you pile in the same activity and number of events today as any other ordinary 24 hour Sunday, then you might say it is a Fast Day. I mean, Events per Hour must go up if Events are constant and hours drop by 1.

But, it could also be a fast day just merely thinking that at 23 hours, there is less time to complete this day and thus tomorrow comes more quicker -- thus, today must be faster.

How is it that your day is slower?

73, phil, K7PEH

P.S. Yes, I am waiting for the varnish to dry on the raised panel door out in the garage. When you are waiting, time marches on at a slower pace -- so, maybe today is a slow day if you are waiting for something.

Re: Elecraft CW Net Announcement - the next version

It used to be: Spring ahead, Fall back. Now it is Winter ahead, Fall
back. Except in parts of Indiana and the entire state of Arizona. I
once crossed the Hoover Dam to have a two hour time difference at the
other side. That was odd!

Re: Elecraft CW Net Announcement - the next version

Not the entire state of Arizona !!
There is part of an Indian Reservation in the Northeast corner of the state
that does observe DST.

Now this is really OT !!

Re: Elecraft CW Net Announcement - the next version

In reply to this post by kevinr@coho.net

Not all of AZ. A Native American reservation [Navajo, I think] does
observe DST. All of KH6 doesn't. Not sure about KL7, been 50 years
since I was stationed there for a year.
