[ Re: Atomic Clock]

[Emil Dular]

I have just a plain, industrial looking, white face, black hands, ANALOG 
Atomic clock that only synchronizes the minute hand. The hour can be set for 
any time zone and it has a DST defeat mode. If they made one with the red 
quiet period segments and autoalarm markings on it, it'd be the "perfect" 
radio room clock
