In theory you can take 1 hour off for each 15 degrees of longitude but
so many localities have deviated from that standard it is no longer
applicable in practice. A few sites I use for time zone info a

For US and Canada time zones:
www.timetemperature.com

For world time zones:
www.worldtimeserver.com

Canada has the most confusing time zones and they are constantly
changing. Anyone with a good authoritative source or chart for Canada?

Universal Time Constant also called GMT or Grenwich Mean Time.

The two are not totaly synonymous, AFAIK. However, for practical
purposes, they can be considered to be so.

UTC is the French Spelling for "Universal Coordinated Time" as on WWV
at 5, 10, 15, and 20 Mhz. CHU in Canada, I believe, says it in
French. UTC has evolved from GMT, therefore the "Universal" in its
name. Basically, GMT is 0000Zulu which is 0000 UTC. Subtract 1 hour
for each 15 degrees of longitude westward to get your local time.

MST would be UTC - 7 hours, or: 1300 UTC - 7hours = 0600 MST.

Hope this helps those reading threads and not checking links while
reading them.
