Hi Peter, I had done that before I got active again and the log wasn't correct. I'll try it again and see what happens. I sync my PC clock pretty much every few minutes. I'll try this again and thanks for the wake up call. I usually miss the obvious when I drill into something simple! :-(
Thanks!

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. ----------------------------------- Regards, Peter, W2IRT -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jon Casamajor Sent: Saturday, July 25, 2009 4:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Dxbase] DXB and UTC I asked Scientific Solutions but have never received an answer so I'll ask here. 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.
