There is no need for cat in this pipeline and there is no need for two of your three invocations of awk.
There is no occurrence of the string +2 in your sample input and there is nothing wrong with your calculation as long as the leading character in hour field in your input file is a plus sign. But, your calculation would be wrong if the leading character in that field was a minus sign (which does not appear in your sample input). If we assume that the 1st character in the hour field will ALWAYS either be a plus sign (+) or a minus sign (-), the following seems to do what I would guess you were trying to do:
If we add a couple of timestamps with negative hours to your sample maser_neg_test.txt for testing:
the above code produces the following output in maser_neg_test2.txt:
which I assume is appropriate output for that input.
