Carol,
David, don't get stupid. Z6 when devolved was only active over Z3.
It's actual time zones were from Diego Garcia to about just short of
Baharain.
Your geography must be rusty too. :-)
I can live with Diego Garcia, but Bahrain is just west of it. You probably
meant to say Japan, which makes it about 4 time zones.
No, technically Bahrain is Asia. Diego Garcia was a toss up with no defined home. They could have been Z1 (due to affiliation) or Z6 (location). I don't think we had any nodes in Dgar. Z6 was just south of you and technically covered almost as many time zones as you. What they didnt have was active nodes in them all.
It's all water under the bridge now as we lost the middle east. Technically a conundrum was the middle east always. Defined as Asia, they fell geographically right under Europe, just like the remaining Z6 bits fell right over Z3 on UTC lines.
