As several have pointed out, GMT is effectively the same as UTC.If we're being really pedantic, there is a subtle difference involving partial leap seconds, and the fact that the earth does not rotate at a precisely constant rate. There is a very convenient and definitive explanation of different time systems (including GMT, UTC, TAI, UT0, UT1, UT2, and others) by Rick Fisher (KE8DH) of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory at http://www.cv.nrao.edu/~rfisher/Ephemerides/times.html . 73 Darrel, aa7fv. |
