Both CCT1 & 2 were held during standard time, and I just didn't think about it. Amazing, esp for a pilot (all wx reports given in UTC). I guess we should keep the daylight time, and adjust GMT. Apparently, both London and Paris (and others) observe daylight savings, so the effect would be minimal. So as of now (1:05am EDT), it is 5 hours ahead in London (6:05am). But GMT is 5:05am. So, the correct schedule would be: EST GMT 10:00 14:00 12:20 16:20 14:40 18:40 17:00 21:00 If you agree, please post it prominently, and let's get Volker to fix it on his site, and inform ICC, and perhaps email all the participants. :( Will
