Daylight Savings Time begins this weekend here in Southwest Missouri and throughout most of the United States. This Sunday, March 11, 2017, at 2:00 a.m. local time, we spring forward to Central Daylight Time as we turn our clocks ahead one hour. Safety officials also suggest that this is a great time to test and/or replace the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.
None of the nets on the Southwest Missouri Regional Skywarn linked repeaters move after these time changes. All of our nets adhere to local time. If you monitor our nets on our Broadcastify Feed or if you participate via our EchoLink Node N0NWS-R from parts of the United States and its territories that do not observe Daylight Savings Time including most of Arizona, all of Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands or in other parts of the world that do not observe Daylight Savings Time, then our nets will appear to start an hour earlier to you.
Daylight Savings Time ends on Sunday, November 4, 2018, at 2:00 a.m. local time.
