FW: [Logic] UTC

Tue, 9 Apr 2002 06:03:59 -0400

Ok, no one is forcing anyone to use UTC.
All you need to do is tell your computer to local 
time, and to NOT automatically update the clock for 
DST. If DST comes or goes, so what--LOGic still 
logs correctly. When you change your system clock, 
change LOGic.
Getting the UTC offset from Windows sounds like a 
great idea unless you think about it. LOGic has to 
be operational while DST changeover happens. This 
would require checking the system time zone every 
time we update the clock. Or it could be done only 
when requesting the time to put in a QSO record, 
but that would require a second clock, and the time 
logged could be different from what is displayed in 
info, and doubtless someone would be upset abt 
that.
So, I'm open to suggestions.

Dennis , as you can see, I am not the only one that 
thinks that you should
fix the time problem. It is VERY easy to mess up 
your contacts and then you
do not get a QSL.
I pointed this out way back in version 3. Can you 
give a reasonable
explanation of why this has not been fixed? At the 
very least it should be
an option. Forcing me to us UTC on my system is 
not acceptable.

Come to think of it Gil, I forgot one year and almost 
screwed up some very
nice DX. This is something for our 'wish list', Dennis 
has taken note I am
sure.
