EV>I forgot to mention to Holger about when I was aboard ship in the   
   EV>Pacific Ocean the Main Radio Room called "Main Comm" had a UTC Clock   
   EV>that the Boatswain Mate had to come into Main Comm periodically to put   
   EV>a Key in the Ships Clocks to Wind Up the clock.   
   EV>So he was a regular visitor to Main Comm.   
      
   EV>It was also His Duty to change the Time on all ships clocks when the   
   EV>ship entered a different Time Zone.   
      
   EV>One day he wound the UTC clock and moved the time back an hour on it.   
      
   EV>A few hours after he left Main Comm the Watch Supervisor noticed two   
   EV>outgoing messages with the same Date Time Group when he was looking   
   EV>through the Outgoing Traffic Log.   
      
   EV>He discovered that the UTC clock had been set back and had to call the   
   EV>Captains Mast on the intercom and ask the Boatswain Mate to come down   
   EV>to Main Comm and reset the UTC Clock.   
      
   EV>That Clock in Main Comm had a piece of paper taped to it saying it was   
   EV>showing UTC Time.   
      
   EV>I guess it was just a routine thing for the Boatswain Mate to wind the   
   EV>clocks when ever he had to change the Time Zone on all of the clocks on   
   EV>the ship.   
   EV>He probably had 100 or 200 clocks to set each time he made his rounds.   
   EV>It was just an honest mistake, but it caused some extra trouble for the   
   EV>Radio Room to send out Error Messages about the mix up.   
   EV>73   
      
   They are also supposed to set their comparision watch by getting a WWV   
   time tick before resetting the clocks.   
      
   EV>... I started out with nothing & have most of it left.
