AHA! 'context' helps! Central Time - USA + Canada

Central Standard Time (CST) = GMT-6
Central Daylight Time (CDT) = GMT-5 To see time in a separate window press Central Time

What time zone Central Standard Time (CST)?

Central Standard Time is the Central Time Zone of the United States of America (USA). Central Standard Time (CST) is 6 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT-6).
When does Central Time change Daylight Saving Time?

In most states in the USA and in most provinces in Canada, Daylight-Saving Time (DST) is observed. During DST CT (or CDT) is 5 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT-5).
After the Summer months Central Time is shifted back by 1 hour to US Central Standard Time (CST) or (GMT-6). etc etc! If the Germans are on GST (German Summer Time) and England is on GMT(Greenwich Mean Time) two hours behind the Germans, no wonder those 'timely Ultra intercepts' served so poorly as opposed to on-the-spot DFing and 10 cm. radar! My guess is your transmissions are "central time"(CT) which the astute commander will then calculate: relative to his actual position, time-zone and Intl' Date Line-wise to determine the relevance of the info and subsequent course of action.
