DX Base will log in UTC automatically by calculating the offset from the system time that you have Windows set up for. If you've told your PC that you're in US-Eastern, it will add 4 hours now and 5 hours when the time goes back in the fall. Make sure your PC clock is set for the right time zone and you don't need to do anything else to DX Base. Incidentally, you should also periodically ensure that your clock is synchronized to NIST or other time standards--either by doing it manually to WWV or else using an NTP app.

Is there a way to set a UTC/Zulu time offset so that DXbase will log the time and day appropriately without having to put my PC clock on Zulu time? The old DOS version was capable of that but I can't find it in 2007.
