[EIDXA] How hard is it to find a clock?

[Jason Joens]

Wow, this has really become quite the conversation, hasn't it?  I'm really
surprised that there isn't one out there.  I would imagine that MFJ would
have tracked one down by now.  I've also check with several clock companies,
and they all say the same thing.  They don't know anyone who makes it.
Maybe one of them will perceive a hole in the market from my emails, and
pump out something!  In the meantime, I'm gonna try and take a normal atomic
clock, and try to reposition the hour hand.  I will let you guys know how it
goes.

Folks ... Jason wants a clock that does ALL three of the following:

1. Analog (with hands)
2. UTC
3. Sync w/ WWV

Sam's Club has these atomic wall clocks.

I have purchased several and all seem to keep sync'ed to WWV very well. 
The
three I bought for the studios at WQUB always matched one another.  I bought
another for the club station at W9AWE.  When I bought them they were 19.95
each.  Not sure what the price is now.

I can see why some want digital (easier to read) but some like analog
because of the "Identify on the 10 minute rule"
