However, if one thinks that midnight on July 3 is actually one minute before 12:01 AM on July 3, then my contact above was 24 hours late.
If my first guess is correct, I have used the established practice of telling time. If my second guess above is correct, once again ARRL has violated its own advice and used local time instead of UTC.
Either way the better opening time would have been 12:01 Z and all confusion would be settled. Guys on 60m that I asked were mixed in the opinion about the opening time... some said one above and some said two above.
Sigh.......at least my claim of the first transAtlantic SWL report on my 60m signals copied in England still stands, altho neither QST nor CQ took notice of it..... sigh, again...... 73,
