Looking For A Good Digital Clock For Your Ham Shack Or Weather Station

  There are so many different digital clocks out there it becomes hard to choose. I still have my Radio Shack Digital Clock with big three inch red numbers. One of these days I have to get a different one. I have looked at some at Universal Radio, MFJ and Ham Radio Outlet. I have also looked at AES Electronics and DX Engineering. Maybe I will get one for Christmas, so I will keep looking for now.

                                     This is very similar to my Radio Shack Clock

   I like the Digital Clock below, because it has the added features of the Date, Time and Temperature. This would make a nice addition to any Ham Shack.

  The next group of Digital Wall Clocks have more color to them then just the silver and black type shown above. This type usually has some images for some weather changes or current weather. These are the weather station systems. The nice part about these systems is that you are checking the weather in your micro-climate. The local weather stations are predicting the weather for the larger area. If you would like to check out a video on these weather stations or newer ones paste the link in your address bar and press enter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GttU-YKpspQ#t=14 .

Below are a few videos on various types of weather station equipment. Options of mounting the outside equipment may be to a chimney or a push up mast. There are push up masts by Rohn  that are metal and fairly sturdy. You can use wall mounts to your House, Shack or Shed. There are also push up fiberglass masts that are pretty strong. In either case I would definitely use some Dacron Guy Ropes to add extra strength.

 Well that's all for now so just stay safe. No matter what you put up in the air always check for power lines.
