Equinox & PUG

2001-09-21 Thread Rfsindg

I failed to get anything prepared to meet the PUG deadline yesterday, but 
don't we have an equinox coming up tomorrow (today).  It will be hard to 
participate in that future PUG if you don't put your shots on film now! 

Regards,  Bob S.

That would be 23:05 Greenwich Mean Time (also known as Coordinated Universal
Time).  GMT is four hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Time; five hours ahead
of Eastern Standard Time.

Hope this helps

And also known by aviators the world over as 'Zulu'. EG : '...expected at 
1430 Zulu...' Don't ask me why - I used to film the International Air 
Tatoo at RAF Fairford every year and we had meals with pilots of every 
type of ship flying and they all spoke in tongues...

Well, it'll be dark here, so I better get the steam-powered flash aboard 
the LX. This will be fun.

Cheers,

...and one hour east of Zulu is time zone Alpha, then Bravo, Charlie
and so on.

The world's twenty-four time zones used to be labeled alphabetically ( a
military thing, I believe), A through Z, omitting I and O.
