It provides a Pythonic interface for the Generic Mapping Tools (GMT), a command-line program widely used in the Earth Sciences. We rely heavily on new features that have been implemented in GMT 6.0. In particular, a new modern execution mode that greatly simplifies figure creation. These features are not available in the 5.4 version of GMT. An easy to use productivity application for the macOS that helps you save time by speeding up your searches, on the web or on your Mac Amphetamine Straightforward app that integrates itself into the OS X status bar to give you quick access and control over your Mac's energy saver settings. In Terminal, just type localhost/- kojiok% pscoast If the list of options are displayed, you are ready to use GMT. 13 Install Adobe Illustrator or Ghostview2.5.1 for Mac OSX to view EPS output. Adobe Illustrator is a supreme graphic interface for GMT graphics. Copy link to issue. SRP Issue on Mac x8664. In 64-bit builds of libGmatBase for Mac (Snow Leopard), the SRP force model tries to obtain the Sun position using a 2-body propagator. That method fails when searching for a solution to Kepler's equation. The model work when using SPICE based ephemerides for the solar.
As radio amateurs, time is important to us and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), often called Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is the most important.
We log our QSOs in UTC, (ideally) we give net times in UTC and our clocks need to be accurate to the second for data modes such as FT8, FT4, JT65, JT9 and WSPR.
For a long time, I had a piece of software running on my Mac which I had configured to show UTC in large text, overlaid on the bottom left corner of the screen. This was ideal as I could just glance at it and see the time including seconds.
Sadly the author of this software died some time ago and because it was a 32bit application, it stopped working when macOS Catalina was released so I spent some time looking for an alternative. I couldn’t find anything suitable and instead I looked for a clock I could configure in the menu bar to show me UTC time.
There are many clocks available but none which suited my needs. They all offered far too many functions such as multiple time zones, alarms, moon phase but none of them would give me just UTC including seconds.
I contacted the author of one of these and he very kindly offered to write something for me which does exactly what I wanted.
The result is a Mac application called “Menu Bar UTC” which does nothing more than sit in your menu bar and display the time in UTC, including seconds. It’s customisable so you can set it up exactly how you want and because that’s all it does, it consumes practically zero system resources.
If you have a Mac, I can recommend this handy little utility and thanks to Steve Foster for writing it.

I usually use Reykjavik, Iceland which is also on GMT and does not observe daylight saving time. Pretty pointless in a country that has almost 24 hours sunlight in summer :)
I think it would be sensible if Apple would create a GMT/UTC timezone for the clock widget. I have submitted that to them via feedback a few years ago but who knows what happened to that idea :-/

On the iPhone you can type 'UTC' in the choose a city search box and UTC will show up and work. This also seems to work on the Date & Time control panel in the Time Zone tab on my OSX 10.8.4 system. I suspect it might work in the Dashboard widget if there was a search box that allowed UTC to be entered.
The Freetown hint seems to be the only option. I don't see a UTC option as on the iPhone.

Or you can do this:
UTC / GMT / Zulu for the Mac World Clock
If you require the display of UTC / GMT (Greenwich Mean time) once in a while, this little hack might be useful to you.
The Mac comes with a beautiful world clock widget that allows placement of various local clocks on the dashboard and is really helpful for people that communicate on a global level. The only thing missing is an option for UTC display (important for HAM radio). This little hack adds a GMT option to the standard World Clock widget.
Open a Terminal window on your MAC. Navigate to the widget directory.
cd /Library/Widgets/
In there you should find a subdirectory for any of the standard widgets that came with OS X. Locate the World clock widget directory and enter it.
cd World Clock.wdgt
Open the file WorldClock.js for editing with your favourite editor
sudo vi WorldClock.js
Locate the Europe section and just above Amsterdam, add this line.
{city:'GMT/UTC', offset:0, timezone:'UTC', id:'2647937'},
Save the file and open the dashboard. Add a new World Clock widget and that should now have an option to add GMT/UTC in the Europe section.
