   In a message dated 10-01-14, Daryl Stout said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   GM Daryl,   
      
   HG>Yeah, the same thing happens on Oct. 26th when we return to normal time.   
      
   DS>   Much of the U.S. goes back to Standard Time the first Sunday in   
   DS> November, then back to Daylight Savings Time the second Sunday in   
   DS> March.   
      
   Yes, I know. I must have that in mind when running the BBS in an   
   international environment.   
      
   DS>   Too bad they can't do like many of the ham radio operators, and   
   DS> the U.S. National Weather Service, where they log and operate in UTC   
      
   Here they have a ships bell on a business square that sounds every day   
   at noon. Of course they have to reset that each time when the time zone   
   changes from normal to summer time and back. Summer time here is what   
   you call DST.   
      
   Instead they should run that bell on UTC (GMT) as is used in all   
   international traffic like ships, flights etc.   
      
   DS> Time. At least the U.S. State of Arizona stays on Standard Time year   
   DS> round.   
      
   That would suit me fine here as well. Also the farmers would welcome   
   that. Now they go out of sync with the clock because cattle don't change   
   their daily rhytm so the farmers have to do it.
