We're not exactly talking brain surgery here - if you're in Eastern 
Time, UTC is local time plus four hours in the summer, plus five hours 
in the winter. So if I'm typing this at 1611 local standard time, I add 
five hours and...presto! It's 2111 UTC.

That said, I'm content to go with the flow depending on which club I'm 
reporting to; as long as there's some indication of what time zone the 
reporter is in, and whether they're using local time or UTC, I'm cool 
with that.
