Interesting tidbit...

[Tom Hammond-3]

On Wednesday of next week, at two minutes and three seconds after
1:00 in the morning.

The time and date will be: 01:02:03:04:05:06

This won't happen again for a thousand years.

You may now return to your normal stuff!

Regards,

Tom

My calculations say it will happen every 100 years.

Thank goodness!  I didn't feel like waiting 999 years
for the next one.  But 99 years is a piece of cake!

As a veteran of 01/02/03 04:05:06, 01/01/01 01:01:01, and 1/9/99, let me
just say that the thrill is brief. You should party like it's 05/04/03
02:01:00.

Better still, come over to the UK next month when at two minutes and three
seconds after one o' clock on the 4th May 06 you can experience it all over
again.

Impossible to say, without defining "it".

If "it" is: "timestamp is 6 monotonically ascending integers when displayed
backwards* modulo 100", it will happen next year at 02:03:04:05:06:07.

If "it" is: "timestamp is the first 6 integers in order when displayed
backwards* modulo 100", it will happen in 100 years, as Earl suggests.

If "it" is: "timestamp is the first 6 integers in order when displayed
modulo 100", it will happen in 2101 just after 5AM. (01:02:03:04:05:06).

* Backwards, LSD to MSD: ssmmhhDDMMYY. Normal timestamp display is
YYYYMMDDhhmmss.

Back on topic (sort of):

How do you get an MFJ clock to display UTC? Half the year, I have to turn
off DST every single day before reading the clock. Kinda stupid for an
Amateur Radio product. Model MFJ-123.

Sums it up for me right there.

I bought one of their "Deluxe Iambic Paddles" last year when I built my K1.
It uses a split post to cinch down on the threaded contacts. Problem is that
it's not possible to cinch them down tight enough to really hold the
contacts in place, so you end up having to adjust the contacts between every
exchange. I sent it in for repair/replacement under warranty and they sent
me a new one. It has the same problem. It's a design flaw, not a problem
with the individual product.

I bought a March R-3a at Dayton last year (http://www.qsl.net/k4qu/). I
realize there's a significant price difference between the two but given
that the MFJ is a paperweight and the March is a keyer paddle, the issue for
me isn't price, it's the product's ability to perform in the function for
which it was designed.
