What's the time in Iceland? - VA3KOT John - 2020-11-11
I had a flight stopover in Iceland a few years ago. I was on my way to the UK and took advantage of a cheap fare offer from Icelandair. It was a welcome break during an otherwise tedious transatlantic journey. One of the things I noticed during my brief stop at the small, overcrowded Keflavik airport near the capital city of Reykjavik was the time.
Every ham should take note of the time in Reykjavik, Iceland for one very simple reason. Iceland is on Universal Coordinated Time - all year. They do not observe Daylight Saving Time. My mobile devices do not have a setting for UTC but I can select a second city on the World Clock widget displayed on the screen. And I choose Reykjavik.
Now I can see UTC time at a glance and never miss an HF net again.
