Jason and gang,

This misses one of your spec's but it could be a useful lighted 24 hour GMT 
clock with battery backup.  Should be very accurate--next to a good atomic 
and probably good enough.

So I got a cheap Atomic wall clock from OfficeMax.  I opened the cover, held
the minute hand in place, and pushed the hour hand into place at UTC.  

 

It works, it syncs, it reads what I want it to read!

It's a Sharp.  Unknown model.  It was at OfficeMax on Collins Road.

I actually took the guts out of it, so I could put them in a clock that
looks better on the wall (one that I had bought at Walmart).
It has a button on the back to turn off daylight savings time.  So once I
got it to sync, I just grabbed the hour hand, and turned it to UTC with my
finger.

The only problems I had were making sure the hands got put back on correctly
when I moved the parts over to the new body.  You have to take the hands off
(just pull on them) and then remove the nut that holds the mechanism to the
body.  I made sure to carefully note the position of the hands when I put
them back on.  If you aren't going to be picky and just leave it the way it
looks, that's not a problem.

The  other problem was getting the case open.  That backing has 4 tabs that
simply snap into a matching recess, but they put a bit of glue on there,
too.  I had to flex the plastic a bit to break the glue, then popped it
open.  After I snapped it back together, the tabs hold it in place just
fine, and I didn't re-glue it at all.

A noise canceller such as the DX Engineering NCC-1 is an excellent solution to RFI 
from a adjoining neighbor's house, such a plasma TV or switching power supply RFI. 

Ideally, install a simple antenna such a a small active antenna close to the ground 
and as close as possible to the RFI source.

I bought one of these from Harbor Freight a couple of years ago and they are 
great. Not commercial quality but for normal ham radio and general 
electrical repair tasks around the house they can't be beat and the price is 
right. I've had good luck with the heat shrink material Harbor Freight 
carries also.

This leads me to believe that the IRC that expires on Tuesday is followed by 
a new issue IRC that will continue to be exchangeable for first class 
postage anywhere in the world.  If true that would mean that the USPS has 
again reduced our services by no longer selling IRC's.  I wonder if they 
will even accept them?  I understand that they will increase first class 
postage another 3 cents within a few weeks.  In the real world few companies 
could survive a  shrinking market by increasing prices.  But, I don't think 
anyone has ever accused the USPS of being in the real world!

Since the US Postal service no longer sells IRCs and the various
QSL managers who periodically sell recycled IRCs are asking $2.65
or more each, there are at least two countries that will sell IRCs
on-line:

The Swiss Post Office sells IRCs at http://postshop.ch - a pack of
10 is CHF 20 (presumably including VAT - I don't know if it is
actually charged on international shipments).  At current exchange
rates that's $2.25 US each.  The picture shown is of the "new"
version.  The description says: Art. no.: 1943400
Available for delivery: Worldwide

The direct link is:
<https://sso.post.ch/shops/en/Products/Stamps-philately/For-Collectors/Ready-to-post-products/International-reply-coupon-1943400?L=1&I=1>



The Iceland Post Office also shows IRCs on their web shop at
http://stamps/postur.is - listed price is ISK 295.  At current
exchange rates that is about $2.55 US.  There is no information
on international sales but the site is generally a philatelic
site through which Iceland Post sells collector stamps globally
and the check-out contains a currency calculator which lists
US Dollars.

The direct link for the IRC is:
