[IRCA] CORRECTION : DX Test: 600 WBOB Jacksonville, FL

["Howe, Stephen S" <showe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, J.D., for this correction of the date of Sunday, January 10 for the WBOB DX Test (in UTC), but this doesn't address the uncertainty I asked about yesterday (below) concerning the start time of the test, when you compare the UTC and EST, MST, etc. time zones.  0600-0900 UTC is not 0000-0300 EST, as stated in the announcement.  It would be 0100-0400 EST.  So, my question is, which time period is correct in the announcement for the test, the UTC or the EST, MST, etc., periods?

Thanks!

First line for Time/Date info for the WBOB DX test should read:

"Time/Date: 0600-0900 UTC, Sunday, January 10, 2016"

Apologies for the typo

Just to clarify the starting time of the WBOB DX Test, Brandon, I assume that the EST, CST, MST, and PST times are correct and that the UTC times were meant to read 0500-0800 UTC.  Is that correct?  I want to make sure the test isn't really going to start at 0100 EST if the UTC times are correct instead.  Thanks.
