Larry,
I recently learned that, whether true or not, GMT is actually a "time zone"
which changes with daylight savings time, where as UTC (commonly called Z
time as well) never changes. The only thing that does change is, if the
time zone you live in changes from "Standard Time" to "Daylight Savings
Time" WE get an hour closer to UTC.
As a result, net times reported in "local time". I.E. 14:00 hr local (in
EST) is 19:00 UTC , 14:00 hr (in DST) becomes 18:00 hr UTC. That's why it
is recommended for all Hams to use UTC time and you are always ON TIME. I
run several nets and I always give the time in local and UTC so that hams
who live in different time zones, his/her UTC is the same as my UTC. Phew,
complicated is it not?

I'm still trying to deal with UTC from GMT. Maybe that is why they call
us "old timers".

Heinrich Cycle ?
Pierre Second ?
I suppose you could say that Second is
a unit of measure since it has a more fundamental
definition:
The second is the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of
the radiation corresponding to the transition between the
two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium 133 atom.
If we define that cesium thing as the Howard (just humor me),
1 kc is actually 9,192,631.77 Howards
QRPers operate around 64 GigaHowards
:-P
