"Time" Change-Over Up-Date :
Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time

Just Watched the 'Atomic' {Radio-Set} Clock
Click-over from 1:59:59 PDT to 1:00:00 PST
From Daylight Saving to Standard Time in the
Middle-of-the-Night ) ~ RHF

Then walked around the House to see which
others did the same . . .

Evidently 2 of the 7 'Atomic' {Radio-Set} Clocks
in the House re-set at 2AM PDT back to 1AM PST
where they had a very good Time Signal; but the
others did not re-set and should sometime before
dawn. {hopefully}

IIRC - Most 'Atomic' {Radio-Set} Clocks are
programmed to seek-out the WWVB Radio Time
Signal between 3AM and 4AM when the 60 Hz
Time Signal is strongest and covers more of
the USA - nitt? ~ RHF
