Scott,

Thank you for squaring me away on what out to be obvious: The time stated
on the license is EDT, so Paul signs off at 2000 EDT.

I lived in Indianapolis for 18 years of my ill-spent youth, and Indiana-
polis stays on CDT year round. So I was used to staying on one time year
round.

Then 6 years Navy military and often operating in UTC. 3 years in the
Philippines as a civilian. RP doesn't do daylight savings time. Station
licenses which state a reduction in power at sunset don't vary monthly.

So, if I weren't reminded of the two time changes yearly, I'd probably be
out of synch with everyone for a week twice yearly.
