As from the 26th March 2000, the Zone 3 Zone Mail Hour (ZMH) will be moved back one hour to 1700 UTC. This translates to the following local times:

Region 55 - WA        1:00am - 2:00am
Region 51 - NT, SA    2:30am - 3:30am
Region 54 - Qld, NSW  3:00am - 4:00am
Region 50 - Vic, Tas  3:00am - 4:00am
Region 57 - NZ        5:00am - 6:00am

This change was requested by Region 57 NZ sysops who were concerned about their BBS users being unable to access the BBS before heading off to work or school. This was because ZMH was falling between 7am and 8am during the daylight saving period. Moving ZMH back an hour will allow users to call the BBS during this time and should help to stem the loss of users to other networks.
