Re: [time-nuts] Down under Time Nuts & Tsunami's & gear.
Yes I am in the sunny state (QLD) in the far tropical north but my elevation is about 420m so I'm not in for wet feet any time soon. Can one put "equipment" up for sale on this mail list? I have some nice tripple filtered L1 GPS timing antenna and motorola Oncore VP units to go with them.

Re: [time-nuts] Down under Time Nuts & Tsunami's
Yes Jim I am in Sydney Australia and we are UT+11. To me EDT and AEST mean the same thing. AEST is most probably more correct to use in a forum such as this. I work in Television and our media people use EDT. Regards Nic, PS the Tsunami warning has been withdrawn. Hmmm. I'm in a pedantic mood today, but I think this is worth raising. "09:44 EDT" - what is that? I'm presuming Nic (emailing from bigpond and presumably in Australia) means "Eastern Daylight Time" which I assume he means Eastern Standard Time + 1 hour for daylight savings. I thought it was suppoed to be AEST for Australian Eastern Summer Time, but I also recall (a long time ago) it being said that there is no standard name for daylight savings time zones in Australia. We have EST, CST and WST - but no offical names for summer. Is this still correct? I always use 09:44 (UT+11) to remove all ambiguity. I would encourage all time-nuts to use the same system because it is completely unambiguous and can be used wordwide.

Re: [time-nuts] Down under Time Nuts & Tsunami's
OK I've done some research and may have jumped the gun. (Note to self - do research before posting) There seems to be a wide variety of conventions out there on Australian time zones. The best source I could find was http://www.australia.gov.au/about-australia/our-country/time which is probably as official as it gets. That site states they are AEST (UT+10), ACST (UT+9.5), AWST (UT+8) and AEDT (UT+11) and ACDT (UT+10.5). (AWDT (UT+9) would be used if Western Australia had daylight savings). I still prefer UT+x because it unambiguous and all countries can use. Regards, Jim 2009/10/8 Jim Palfreyman : > Hmmm.

Re: [time-nuts] Down under Time Nuts & Tsunami's
I hope there aren't any timenuts in North Queensland. There is a Tsunami warning issued at 09:44 EDT today for the Great Barrier Reef and Bowen to St. Lawrence. Nic There are several of us down here on the list. I can think of several in AU and at least three or four in NZ. If they don't identify themselves to you, let me know. >>snip ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
