I think Steve meant:

The whole list of preprints are reachable from:

Note that a UT1 correction is only part of the issue.  Many telescopes and other systems make the natural assumption that UTC itself approximates Greenwich Mean Time, since the original TF.460 was created with this in mind:

	"GMT may be regarded as the general equivalent of UT."
