*Yep! it's easy! the number was generated by an 'off site' or 3rd. party order taking facility and NOT generated by Elecraft. As this 3rd party handles orders for 'other' clients, the numerical significance is only in relation to 'all' of the orders received by this 3rd party. See?..simple eh?

Took the info from the formula. My order number is: 2208-4835-5827 Using the formula I get: 12/28/2011 4:35 PM Since the order info came *from* Elecraft, may I assume the 4:35 PM is Pacific Standard Time? If so, then I think the conversion to UTC would be 12/29/2011 0035. Did I do that
