Should really screw up the computers.


Don't forget to set your GMT clock ahead.



Mine is screwy. It's an old Atomic Time model from 2002 (no longer
made) that displays two times. I have one set for Pacific Time and one
set for UTC. Now, there's no way to tell it NOT to shift from standard
to daylight time, it does it automatically (yes, WWVB controlled). So
for the summer months my UTC time is one hour off. It really doesn't
bother me, I just subtract one hour from the UTC clock reading when
noting logs. Considering that there's really nothing else on the
market that compares to this baby right now-it shows seconds as well
as hours and minutes, AND it's radio controlled-I'm reluctant to junk
it.
