Does anybody know if any company makes a 24 UTC clock...say about the

EBay is a great place to find one of these. Mine is a foot-wide analog
by MFJ that I got (barely) used for ten bucks. Runs forever on an AA
battery, and is very accurate. If you're willing to part with some coin
and do a little rigging, you can frequently find ones from old Navy
destroyers and the like - very cool.

I've seen old Heathkit radio controlled clocks-a geek friend of mine has
one in his computer room-but those don't show UTC. Atomic Time
(atomictime.com) makes a double display time clock, set one side to your
time and the other to UTC. I have one, but there's no way to stop one
side from switching to DST, so it's off by an hour half the year on UTC.
Still, it was the only radio controlled clock I could find that can show
UTC.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt! The "old" Heathkit Most Accurate
Clock GC-1000 will show UTC. There is even a switch for that as
well as 12/24 and daylight savings in any of 23 time zones that
can reliably pick up WWV/H on 5/10/15 mHz. Mine has been running
since 2/1986. Soapbox off mode.

For the record, I do not know who made the post about the Heathkit
clock - but it wasn't me (as it appears in this post).
