The rules state 0900-1000UTC which is 1800-1900 WDST. We are now 9 hours ahead of UTC not 7.meg wrote: This is on from 7-8pm tonight (if I have my times correct) - more info here

If you're using Vista on your PC, you can set it to display multiple clocks when you hover over the time in the bottom corner.. !meg wrote:Ah of course - daylight saving fools me again!Blinky wrote: The rules state 0900-1000UTC which is 1800-1900 WDST. We are now 9 hours ahead of UTC not 7.

Sounds like fun.
I'll get a few points working some locals and maybe some other states if I'm lucky but ZL on 80m on a wire antenna probably isn't going to happen
