As most contests are started and ended at a specific time in UTC, I would not 
expect to see *any* changes made.

The local time in Standard or Daylight Savings is irrelevant when using UTC.

As many have heard, the U.S. congress is likely to pass legislation making 
daylight savings time (the time you see in Spring, Summer and Fall), permanent 
(no more standard time).

Ive noticed that many 160 meter contests have a start time that seems to match 
that with sunset on the U.S. east coast and midwest.

Any thoughts as to if we will see a change to 160 meter contest start times in 
2023?
