UTC (ZULU) Time Conversion Chart

[Drew.Gardonia]

For those that struggle with the UTC (Universal Time Conversion) to Local Time Conversion, here's a chart I recommend you print off and keep with you on your chases, this will make converting time much easier until you get the hang of it.

I still struggle with it, so it should be a good resource.

If you have Windows 7 (I believe Vista has it too), you can add UTC/Zulu as a second time zone, and you can see the current Zulu time by simply mousing over the clock.

Click on the clock, then click "Change Date and Time Settings", then click the "Additional Clocks" tab, and add UTC as the time zone. Check the "Show this clock" box and hit ok. Couldn't be easier!

For Mac users, there is an app called. "World Clock Deluxe" and looks pretty similar to what matt posted.

outstanding Matt, thanks for this, that will really help out with conversions!

The method I used to use (before I had a laptop with Vista) was to drop six hours off of the Zulu or add six hours to MDT, +5 to CDT, +4 to EDT and so on...

On my laptop which runs Win Vista, I am able to have upto two additional clocks. One is usually set for Nashville (CST/CDT) and the other is always set for Zulu time. Having the 2 additional clocks is a VERY handy thing, indeed.

Thanks for the links, UTC was giving me fits when I was trying to look at models. It's a bit more abstract than standard or military time. Great info guys!

Thanks

Guys, both Alpha clock and the Windows 7 hack are great ideas. Put AC on my laptop (running XP), and used the trick with windows 7 on my desktop. Thanks.
