> 10.2  Timing of Zone Mail Hour
>
> Zone Mail Hour is observed each day, including weekends and holidays.  The
> time is based upon Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), also known as Greenwich
> Mean time (GMT).  In areas which observe Daylight Savings Time during part of
> the year, the local time of zone mail hour will change because FidoNet does
> not observe Daylight Savings Time. The exact timing of Zone Mail Hour is set
> for each zone by the Zone Coordinator.
