<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The comment mentions that Palmer station
keeps the same time as Punta Arenas, Chile.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"># From Ethan Dicks (1996-10-06):</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"># It keeps the same time as Punta Arenas,
Chile, because, just like us</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"># and the South Pole, that's the other
end of their supply line....</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"># I verified with someone who was there
that since 1980,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"># Palmer has followed Chile. Prior
to that, before the Falklands War,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"># Palmer used to be supplied from Argentina.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">If the comment for Antarctica/Palmer
is still true, then I think ChileAQ in antarctica should be also updated.
Does anyone know if ChileAQ in antarctica was intentionally unchanged or,
it's just an error?</font>
