[aprssig] Timestamp Questions

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

That is decidedly NOT what aprs101.pdf says on page 22:

092345z is 2345 hours zulu time on the 9th day of the month.
092345/ is 2345 hours local time on the 9th day of the month.
234517h is 23 hours 45 minutes and 17 seconds zulu.

Are you going by memory Bob, or did you actually check somewhere for 
that information?
