"Q" is the military time zone. There are 24 time zones designated A-Z excepting "I" and "O" so as not to be confused with numbers "1" and "0" respectively.

Eastern Standard Time (EST) becomes Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) during Daylight Savings Time (DST), when monster posted, and transitions from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) -5 to GMT -4 or "R" to "Q" in military "Z" (Zulu) Time. GMT never changes to DST.

Universal Time Coordinated/Universal Coordinated Time (UTC/UCT) is the successor to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) a.k.a. military “Zulu” Time. The terms represent the same time zone; but, with different implications in various countries.

The Cellar displays the GMT offset at the bottom of the page.

Now I've said my ABCs. Tell me what you think of me?

On second thought, never mind.
