Coordinated Universal Time

 I picked up an older Icom m700 single side band radio and a SEA antenna tuner so when i need to know the coordinated universal time, all I have to do is tune it to group A, mode A3H channel 2.

notice the incandescent light bulb.  To check the output transmit power functionality, I was able to wire the bulb into the antenna outlet and the bulb lights up brightly when speaking into the microphone.........This is a good indication that the radio may stand a chance of being able to serve a purpose on the boat. SSB's may be old school, but I think that having this unit on board will be a lot of fun.

Also, when it's too cold and dark to work on the boat, having it on a table inside provides a nice place to eat small bits of dark chocolate and listen out for mariners in distress.
