Daylight Saving Time
by WARREN MYERS 10 Mar '24

10 Mar '24

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME (DST). This weekend it will be time to change your clocks again. Countries in the Northern Hemisphere (most of N. American and some of the Caribbean) who observe Daylight Saving Time should change their clocks on Sunday, March 10th at 2:00 AM, and should move their "local clocks" forward 1 hour to 3:00:00 AM local time. Daylight Saving Time will end on Sunday, November 3rd at 2:00 AM. European countries will switch to DST on March 31st. For the history and details about DST, as well as an interesting map of the world (showing the countries who observe DST), see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time http://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/2024.html <http://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/2022.html> ADDED NOTES: Hopefully, all amateur radio operators know not to change their GMT/UTC/ZULU clocks. However, since most operators usually set their computers to local time, some may have to change their settings on "some" ham radio software (ex. logging, propagation, DXTelnet, etc..) programs.

Go box build - 3U or 4U?
by Dave Schmidt 07 Mar '24

07 Mar '24

I am itching to build a go-box using a pre-made rack case. I cannot decide if I should go with a 3U or 4U case. 3U is plenty high for an IC7300 and a mobile 2m/440 radio and even a front firing speaker. 4U would give me more room for stuff, but I don't want to add too much stuff to this and make it into a heavy brick. Anyone build a go box out of a rack case and have an opinion of 3U vs 4U? Thanks, Dave AI6VX

Events in SB?
by Avi Carmi 05 Mar '24

Hi all, I just realized that I have not volunteered for any SB event in the longest time... Then found out that I somehow got dropped off the mailing list, which explains why I have not seen any events. Just re-joined. Are there any upcoming events in SB looking for volunteers? please let me know -avi -- avi(a)carmi.us 805-616-2636 K6AVI https://avicarmi.com

AMERICA’S LAST MORSE-CODE STATION
by Levi C. Maaia, K6LCM 03 Mar '24

AMERICA’S LAST MORSE-CODE STATION Maritime Morse code was formally phased out in 1999, but in California, a group of enthusiasts who call themselves the “radio squirrels” keeps the tradition alive. http://archive.today/6VIDM
