In this case, I'm download the packets from clearing houz for the echomail areas. 

Here's an example from the Prison BBS ad from my logs:
[2024-12-13 09:51:34.60784] [9230] [error] Parsed date time: 2024-12-14T03:01:22 is after current UTC date: 2024-12-13T14:51:34 even after TZ correction 0000 :: Using current UTC date for value. 

(Correction defaults to 0000 if kludge is missing)

Here's the FTSC date from the packet:

FTSC_DATE: 14 Dec 24 03:01:22

So in this case, it was hours ahead. Clearing Houz is +11 hours. Does that effect any of the packet times that are sent to me?

From Binkp logs:
 10:00 [9276] TIME Sat, 14 Dec 2024 02:00:02 +1100

Thanks for the help!
