Message-ID: <8401260440.AA18589@SEISMO.ARPA> Date: Wed, 25-Jan-84 23:36:35 EST Article-I.D.: SEISMO.8401260440.AA18589 Posted: Wed Jan 25 23:36:35 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 2-Feb-84 04:45:56 EST Sender: ka@hou3c.UUCP (Kenneth Almquist) Lines: 14 A few weeks ago, I thought I heard a fleeting news item on the radio to the effect that Alaska was changing its time zone. Rather than continue to be split across three zones (Yukon, Alaska/Hawaii, and Bering) -- so the story went -- all parts of Alaska would henceforth keep Yukon time (GMT-9; GMT-8 in summer). Is the above actually the case, or was I suffering from a sophisticated aural hallucination? If this is true, then I suppose the long-standing confusion between BST (Bering Standard Time) and BST (British Summer Time) no longer exists. I wonder whether the Alaska Legislature contains any mail hackers. -- Rich
