Tacbat Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Eastern Standard Time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenny Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Just assuming that it a US-time.That be UTC-5? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Yeah, it's a north American time zone, but with the change in daylight savings time I think it's UTC-4 now.Why everyone on the forum don't use UTC as a standard time reference is beyond me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boner Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 let me shed some light tacbat this the first time i ever heard of UTC once i learn the standard here at SB ill certainly adjust until then i have to use wut i know 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacbat Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 let me shed some light tacbat this the first time i ever heard of UTC once i learn the standard here at SB ill certainly adjust until then i have to use wut i know Sounds good. My initial comment wasn't directed at you, just the community in general. I think by using UTC or "Zulu" time, it will help answer questions before they are asked. Of course, then you'll get the odd person asking, "What's UTC/Zulu?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) let me shed some light tacbat this the first time i ever heard of UTC once i learn the standard here at SB ill certainly adjust until then i have to use wut i knowBoner,UTC or Greenwich Mean Time is the global time reference point. Everywhere on the planet is X hours (where X is a number between 1 and 23) ahead or behind UTC/GMT.Its also referred to a Zulu time (or just Z) so 1800Z = 1800 GMT = 1800 UTC.Can I suggest (I share Tacbat's frustration) that you go to this web site:http://www.timeanddate.comWhere you can set up a global conversion table.You put in your local time and date and it generates a conversion table.You then post the link here.Others just click on the link and scroll down to find your "local" equivalent.We at BG ANZAC use it so people in the various time zones in Aust/NZ know the equivalent of "0800 GMT on a Thursday":http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20150312T0800Of course many can't be bothered and just post their local time and don't explain it, expecting potential visitors to do the math. As a result most don't.If you use this tool to do the math for them, they have one less reason not to attend.

Lt DeFault Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Eastern Standard Time. [...] it's a north American time zone, but with the change in daylight savings time I think it's UTC-4 now.Actually, it's "Eastern Daylight Time". :men_ani: But yes, we are UTC-4 now, or "Quebec" time instead of our usual "Romeo".But I agree with Tacbat and the Colonel. We should forget all this nonsense and use UTC everywhere. It would prevent ambiguity and save a lot of time, IMHO.PSThere seems to be increasing support for the discontinuation of daylight savings in the U.S. At least that would remove one layer of complication.[/hijack] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the UK we have a pressure group who want us to move permanently to BST (GMT+1) so the evenings are lighter for longer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Or we can permanently change BST to GMT (+1) After all we "invented" GMT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
