Got me there.  I was going by memory, because it was my intent in
introducing the "h" format so that small devices could be built that did not
have real-time clocks or calendars.

But given that the spec says it is in zulu, then that is great!  That is
better of course.

Is an 'h' format timestamp assumed to be local or UTC?

Does APRS-IS send out 'h' timestamps as local, UTC, or as received from
source?

If I am doing a HUD display for messages (or other stuff in the future) do I
care about the timestamp?
