Does anyone really know what time it is?

I think I have the time display correctly set now to show UTC. Let me know if it still isn't working correctly.

While you're at it, the category "Shortwave Boadcast" could use a spelling adjustment.

Sweet! I had compensated my own profile for UTC, but this sort of makes better sense! I like it!

Chris, it's hard to believe you're still a "newbie". You should ask that Admin guy to cut you some slack for all this hard work!

How does the post-ranking status thingee work for this board system anyway?

As always, thanks for all your work on this, and for giving us a place to hang our hats... and Fansome's sneakers....they needed to air out!

One of the things I love about Simple Machines forum is that you can go back and edit the subject.  That has always bugged the crap out of me on the FRN......not being able to edit an UNID post to change UNID to the station name (if you got an ID later in the broadcast) or correct spelling errors.....it's no problem here 8)

Well as we've missed the equinox we'll have to wait until the solstice.

Al set up gnomen by the trailer and get some large rocks. We'll figure this thing out starting this summer.

I think the issue here is the sunspot cycle. Now that a new one has started, the two equinoxes have reversed. As a result, we now have to spring backwards, and fall forwards. I think gnomon might be a good idea; those little guys can be put to work around the trailer when they're not keeping track of the time.
