I am almost caught up with my BBS reading.   Finally.
Until I get the .QWK packet when sending this .REP packet tonight.

I haven't seen any messages in the LS_ARRL echo (as it is called on
this BBS), and am wondering if Mark Lewis just hasn't had the time to
post any of them.

I haven't seem any messages from Mark after the first week of Jan 2015.

Ouch!, I know that hurts, not being able to keep up with interesting
Amateur Radio things.

When I was active I always logged everything in whatever the Local Time
was (either EST or EDT), even when I was active on the Traffic Nets
everything I done was written in local time.

That sounds right to me that air traffic and shipping uses UTC.
When I was a Navy Radioman, when I went to the Base Amateur Radio
station, I would use the Local Time Zone when I wrote in the Station
Log Book, and all the other Hams who used that station used local time
for their entries in the Station Log Book.

K4NDC at the Navy Operations Base in Norfolk, Virginia
and
K6NCJ at the Navy Air Station in Alameda, California 

are the only two Navy Ham Shacks I got to operate at.
