Title: UCT please
Post by: RTGorkle on March 19, 2022, 09:32:18 AM
With concerns around dwindling numbers, quoting/documenting event times in Zulu/UCT would promote a little inclusivity. We’re kind of an international military operation here, so let’s do it the way that mitigates risk and effort.

We all know our own offset, any time of the year. UCT plus/minus that, job done.

I have no issue posting times in Zulu as well as US East. Thanks for raising the concern.

I changed the Scenario time on the BBS Calendar to test - does that help?

This is a great idea. Living on the east coast the present scenario and FSO are too late for this ol dude. The MA just isnt worth it anymore so that doesnt leave a whole lot.

Whenever you Gents from the Pacific area need an old broken down virtual Pilot gimme a yell.  We had great fun back in the day.  Good seeing old familiar faces again (Well...in text anyway)

I don't frequent the MA much anymore.  I do participate in scenarios........well, participate may be the wrong word.......get in the way is more like it now.

Nice to see you still floating around, Hajo. I disappeared for a few years and back now only for FSO and hopefully an occasional scenario. And yeah, we have some good times way back :-)

Regarding KOTH, we used to have two events, one for the Euro timeframe and another for the US timeframe. Lack of attendance closed the Euro one. Seeing KOTH is primarily a US timed event I may or may not include non-US times.

Not true Hajo!   Scenarios are always better when you're there.    :salute
