All of this has had me scratching my head.

We have a few AMs, one Sine, a few Burk ARC-16s and two ARC Pluses,  
and we leave all of the site controllers on Standard time.

The Instrument of Authorization is in Standard time, so that isn't an  
issue, and the site controller is in Standard Time.  All is well with  
the world.

Now for FMs, and the FT AM, what the heck difference does it make?   
It can change the time, or not.  You just have to know.

Audio Automation is all together another subject.

P.S.  My Blackberry went back to CDT already.  Monday morning in  
Dallas the alarm never went off -- well it did, an hour late.   
Thankfully my AT&T phone is stupid and takes the network time and  
believes it.  It is always on local time.  So, Crackberry on Central  
Time most weeks, computer on Eastern Time, and the phone on local  
time.  Let me spin up Chicago on the iPod now, "Does Anybody Know  
What Time It Is?"
