Hi Wolf and Group,

I have improved my ERP tonight, but no replies heard at 2300.
Standard time for Newfoundland and Labrador is -3:30 and -3:00
for most of Labrador, (I think), but this changes with daylight
saving time to -2:30.  There was a period when we had double
daylight saving time!

It is quite confusing espacially woth the :30 mess.  Perhaps its
best if I stick to UTC.  At the moment it is 2312 UTC.

Will be listening 0000 0100 and 0200 also, 500-510 kHz.

Hello Joe,

Thanks for the info, and sorry to have missed the opportunity.. hell of a noise (QRN) on 500 kHz here at the moment; it was much better on sunday (late evening) than today. Anyway even crossband with 40 meters transmission from this end would have been difficult, with only 100 watts and a dipole. The season seems to be over. For the records: As I've seen now, the email headers do show the sender's timezone. There is even a field which looks like offset between the sender's local time and UTC, but this is guesswork:

Your timezone is "minus two hours and thirty minutes" ?

(jfy: Thunderbird shows those headers when switching to ""message view", which contains a line with

"Received: .... Mon, 30 Apr 2012 12:00:51 -0230" (by a server in Canada; guess in Newfoundland, too)

and another

"Received: .... Mon, 30 Apr 2012 16:33:22 +0200" (in Germany, local time = UTC + 2 hours).

So, for the next time, I know exactly when a message has been sent, and don't have to wonder about timezones ;-)

73,
 Wolf .
