Hello Andy, John,

The track went well below red, from 5 to 9 UT, I attach a RJP3 map.
However, there are non-Io dependent events which can be quite strong.
We may get a confirmation from other Observers.

EST, Eastern Standard Time, is currently Universal Time Coordinated - 4
hours.

We like to use UTC as much as possible to minimize confusion for Observers
around the world.

UTC is Atomic Time with adjustments of exactly 1 second Atomic Time, to keep
it in step with Earth's rotation, as needed.

In Jim Sky's wonderful Radio-Jupiter Pro 3, RJP3 for brevity, GMT or
Greenwich Mean Time is used. For our purposes this is the same as UTC.
Zulu or Z time is also UTC.

For more details see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time

This is what the US Navy says about Zulu time:

I note that for the Navy Alaska time is  "Victor" time !!

I have been observing the Sun with radio telescopes since 1966 and I am
still a beginner,  going up a steep learning curve.
There is a torrent of Radio Astronomical Literature to read !

Good luck in your observations.

Victor
