DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME (DST)
Remember to change your clocks this weekend. Countries in the Northern Hemisphere (most of N. American and some of the Caribbean) who observe Daylight Saving Time, should change their clocks on Sunday, March 8th at 2:00 AM, and should move their "local clocks" forward 1 hour to 3:00:00 AM local time. Daylight Saving Time will end on Sunday, November 1st at 2:00 AM. European countries will switch to DST on March 29th. For the history and details about DST, as well as an interesting map of the world (showing the countries who observe DST), see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time

http://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/2015.html
ADDED NOTES: Hopefully, all amateur radio operators know not to change their GMT/UTC/ZULU clocks. However, since most operators usually set their computers to local time, some may have to change their settings on "some" ham radio software (ex. logging, propagation, DXTelnet, etc..) programs.

REALTIME BAND CONDITIONS WEB SITE http://www.bandconditions.com:
The purpose of this experimental Web site is to provide 24-7-365 actual (REALTIME) band condition information to CW QRPp, QRPe and CW/SSB for Contesters interested in increasing their scores. It can also be of benefit to other Radio Amateurs to determine band conditions for Nets and casual QSO's. This information is NOT based on any software pre- dictions or any kind of satellite based readings. It is based on a new Ionospheric sounding method called "HF Ionospheric Interferometry" which operates very similarly to the PolSAR system used by NASA.

ZF, CAYMAN ISLANDS (Note from ZF2BH)
Martti, OH2BH, has now arrived in the Caymans and is ready for the ARRL SSB Contest. He has decided to run single-band 80M during the contest weekend and look for U.S. states and VE provinces. We all have our dreams and so does Martti. He has always wanted to run loud on 75M into USA. Now all this comes together nicely, and so he can salute his U.S. friends domestically. Please tune into 75M SSB and say hello to Martti as he plans to be there exclusively. Life is good on the Caymans, and it adds another destination where to appreciate the world along with his annual USA/VE contest entries. ZF2BH via OH2BH
