There is an ESP32 with a built in 320 x 240 2.8" LCD display with a touch screen
Most Hams are old guys now and aren't going to do well with a clock for ants.
I am not certified but grew up with Hams. Ill probably certify when I move.
There are a lot more young people getting into it than you would think though. A friend of mine with kids said they were working with a homeschool group on it. I think that is a pretty good thing.
