[Elecraft] Clocks and Clock Faces

[John Rodenbarger]

I lurk the QRP-L Digests over on metalab, and seems that I'm not the only
one who found the Atomix WWVB clocks on sale for 11 and change this weekend.
I paid $24 a year and a half ago for the one that's in my kitchen that is
still on it's first battery and is in perfect sync with WWV...
This clock has a 60 kcs. RX in it that reads the time code and self-sets.
You only have to get the hands in the ballpark, and it does the rest. Once
it sets itself, you can change the hands to read GMT, EST, PST, or even
Newfoundland Standard Time, with it's 15-minute offset.  for those of us who
either want UTC, or live in Indiana, the auto-DST feature can be disabled.

I'm in the process of scaling up a clock face that I created for the small
$3.84 Ingraham clocks that Wally sells that is a replica of the U.S.
Maritime Commission Radio Room clock. Silent Period sectors, auto alarm tick
marks, the whole thing. Looks good in the shack, and looks good in my
nautical-motif "Head", too....

D'you think there'd be enough interest in the faces to warrant a "press
run"? Reply direct, please...
