[Elecraft] OT: WWV-driven station clock that displays zulu time

[Charles R Tropp]

The problem with the La Crosse clocks and all "atomic" clocks is that if 
you have a computer near your operating position (as most of us have 
these days), the clock must be at least 6 feet away (as per the 
instructions that come with the clock) otherwise there will be no 
reception of the WWVB signals. That means you will need to get a wall 
mounted clock that is large enough for you to see and it probably should 
be mounted on a wall that is facing the WWVB signal you are trying to 
receive for best reception of the WWVB signals which is hit or miss most 
nights.  (e.g. West if you are East of Ft Collins, Colorado). The model 
WS-8157U-IT can be set to UTC if you wish.
