Works well Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Returning to the hobby after a 20 year hiatus, I needed an accurate world clock. I was pleased to discover Simon's world clock (thanks to a review here on Eham).
The clock is great. The only addition that would be nice to have is callsign prefixes. I'm sure that will come in due time.
Like the earlier review, I have too an unused 32" LCD TV that will be my monitor in the shack.

Working good for me! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Another amateur operator was wanting something like this for years and as I was bumbling along the other day in some forum when I came across a link for it.
Since I use FT8 and already have a GPS disciplined time clock on my shack PC, why not use that old, unused 32 inch flat screen television as a world clock and hang it on the wall of my shack? Classy world time that is within a tenth of a second accuracy using infrastructure I already have on hand? Heck yeah!
Been up for days and looks great!
