A reader, independent of their location, is unlikely to be able to determine which time you have communicated. Sometimes the UTC reference datum is called Zulu time and is specified with a suffix of the capital letter `Z`. This too, is acceptable. For example: `0800Z` is a moment in time that is unambiguous. It is `0800` at zulu time, or UTC. `0800Z` is a moment in time that is unambiguous *(date notwithstanding)*. It is `0800` at zulu time, or UTC. A reader, in any location, is now able to comprehend which time you have communicated. Do not say, `0800 Fantasia time`. Since, this risks being ambiguous. Does Fantasia run daylight savings adjustments throughout the year? Are they running right now? Are they running on the date of your specified time? This specification of time is at high risk of failure. Use UTC (equivalent GMT) or zulu time, or some other, unambiguous reference datum that your reader is certain to understand, or easily able to come to understand. -
