   I am almost caught up with my BBS reading.   Finally.

   I haven't seen any messages in the LS_ARRL echo (as it is called on   
   this BBS), and am wondering if Mark Lewis just hasn't had the time to   
   post any of them.   
      
   I haven't seem any messages from Mark after the first week of Jan 2015.

   Ouch!, I know that hurts, not being able to keep up with interesting   
   Amateur Radio things.

   When I was active I always logged everything in whatever the Local Time   
   was (either EST or EDT), even when I was active on the Traffic Nets   
   everything I done was written in local time.

   That sounds right to me that air traffic and shipping uses UTC.   
   When I was a Navy Radioman, when I went to the Base Amateur Radio   
   station, I would use the Local Time Zone when I wrote in the Station   
   Log Book, and all the other Hams who used that station used local time   
   for their entries in the Station Log Book.   
      
   K4NDC at the Navy Operations Base in Norfolk, Virginia   
   and   
   K6NCJ at the Navy Air Station in Alameda, California    
      
   are the only two Navy Ham Shacks I got to operate at.
