I understand that the Pentagon has some very good charts. They're the ones drawing up the invasion plans. They'd know!

Just out of curiosity when was the last time a Canadian time zone
changed?

I've lived and worked in all of them and never noticed a change.

I don't know where you get your information but Canada's time zones do not constantly change. Pacific, Mountain, Central,
Eastern and Atlantic are common to both the Canada and the USA. Newfoundland has its own time zone. Saskatchewan does not
observe Daylight Savings Time and as a result appears to fall into the Mountain Daylight zone.

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.

Thanks everyone I've learnt something Z was told to me to be a hang over from Morse code days. See K at the end of a QSO means "invitation to transmit" or "roger" or even short for "OK"

As for finding charts etc---to be honest I've found it in the front of many a diary or personal organiser. Since a lot of people do internet business these days it is a handy thing to have on call. Try that!!!

This is true for us in Australia where I am. Plenty are available in any newsagent. Bookstore maybe for you guys anywhere you get things like business ledgers for book keeping etc.
