Possible bug or option needed for converting local time to UTC time in ezColIFAvg.py #9

Hi,
I just started using ezRA and so I may not be using ezColIFAvg.py correctly. I had collected my data using SDR#, IF average plugin. And looking at the headers of the files that this plugin generates, for example

6/27/2025 6:49:25 PM Counts:855900

The time 6:49:25 PM is actually the local time because that's when I started collecting the data. UTC should be 10:49:25 (24 hour clock) if it is indeed in UTC time.

When I run ezColIFAvg.py, it still uses this time and did not convert it to UTC time. Here's the line at and after the comment # times are in UTC:

# times are in UTC
2025-06-27T18:49:25

Clearly it's not UTC time.

I don't see an option in ezColIFAvg.py for the UTC correction, or from reading the code, how it actually automatically corrects local time to UTC time as well.

Perhaps this is a bug, or it's simply my ignorance.

Thanks for looking into this.
