EMR WBCQ Relay caught in time warp?
« on: March 18, 2017, 2244 UTC »
Everything I've read about the EMR transmission today (18 March) on 5130 was that it would be broadcast 2300 to 0000.  They are on right now 2240.  Last week 640pm EST would have been 2340.

Many thanks for your report and email.
Yes the time was not correct!
All the best!
