FW: [Logic] UTC

Tue, 9 Apr 2002 12:56:40 -0400

Ole Gil's making a good point here. Well!! once and a wile he does. hi
hi : )
 Because most people have bad memorys. Not enoght carrots or
somthing when we were kids hi.
 I know I gone 3 or 4 months into DST and realized I forgot to update the
darn thing in LOGic. No problem with
clock have an exelent free clock program called "WT 5" World Time 5 which
updates computer clock
when I get on the net. Just the off set in LOGic somtime it a pain if you
don't remember it's there.
What a mess if you worked a few contest in that time period.

P.s anyone interest in WT 5 its free can get it at
http://www.pawprint.net WT6
will be out soon it's in beta now. Author Scott Baker/VA7WT thought of
everthing, including a
setup for you LAN's ops.
