[CW] No Operator for KKUI AMERICAN VICTORY

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

The ones with Mackay Radio on them are special, mostly on ship stations but
some might have made it to Mackay Radio's coast stations, WSF, New York
Harbor, WSL Amagansett, Long Island, KFS, San Francisco, KLB, Seattle,
Washington but mostly to ships because the ships paid for them. The clock
would command a premium for the Mackay Radio badge.

The clocks were manufactured by Chelsea Clock of Chelsea, Massachusetts and
was their only clock with a long sweep second hand, their model 12E
movement.

Chelsea would put any name on them the purchaser wanted for a premium added
to the price. Chelsea discontinued the mechanical radio room clocks in
2000, but the Patriot quartz clock with red and green sectors continues to
be sold in two sizes, 6 inches and 8.5 inches in diameter.
