You're right... I shouldn't try to do math at 11pm after having a beer.

Yes, I've verified the system time several times just to be sure and
it is correct (within a few minutes) I meant to put that in my post
but forgot.
It looks like Myth is offsetting the time by +6 instead of -6 hours
(which would give me the 12 hour difference from actual I'm seeing).
Although it should handle this properly I wouldn't be so aggravated if
the timeoffset field worked and I could "Tune it" to be correct.
BTW, should have mentioned I'm running 20.2 (latest available from
atrpms) on F8.
Thanks,
Richard
