Thanks. I suppose we should have a separate entry for this. But I'm not sure what location we should use. In your 2001-02-13 email you wrote: Also, there is no mention in the list that some areas in the Falklands do not use DST. I have found in my communications there that these areas are on the western half of East Falkland and all of West Falkland. Stanley is the only place that consistently observes DST. Again, as in other places in the world, the farmers don't like it. West Falkland is almost entirely sheep farmers. Our usual rule is to use the most populous location in the area, but the boundaries of this area seem to be fairly vague. Perhaps Port Howard would be best? (Or maybe Goose Green? but it might flip-flop.) Part of the problem is that I don't have good figures for populations of these small towns. www.world-gazetteer.com estimates 80 for Goose Green, 39 for Port Howard, and 22 for Grytviken, but that's it (other than Port Stanley of course).
