Time zone Z (ZULU)

.... Just to fill in for those unfamiliar with the phonetic alphabet.
It is a standard set of names for the letters to be used in voice
communications -- especially when not getting them mixed up is important
(like in the military). It goes: Alpha Bravo Charlie Delta Echo
Foxtrot Golf Hotel India Juliet Kilo Lima Mike November Oscar Papa
Quebec (pronounced "K-beck") Romeo Sierra Tango Uniform Victor Whiskey
X-ray Yankee Zulu.

Cheers,
