Yaesu QTR-24 World Clock
The QTR-24 is a 12 and 24 hour format clock which was made around 40 years ago. Normal clock movement (hours, minutes, seconds) on this unique timekeeping device is represented in the classical 12 hour format, while an outer ring depicts time in a 24 hour format. Furthermore, the first 12 hours are shown in white to depict daylight and the other 12 in black. As the name suggests, the QTR-24 World Clock also features a world time read out. Of course, the current name and format for world time, something us DXers talk about all the time and refer to on QSL cards, logging programs, clusters and the like, is called Universal Time Coordinate (UTC). It’s also been known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and the military term ZULU (Z). All world time on the QTR-24 is represented in a 24-hour format based upon the global starting point in Greenwich, England (UK)..
