There is another similar program, Ham Clock, that has
a larger display and some additional features that was
written by an amateur. Link: http://www.df1zn.de/

I´d be lost without it.

I just found a neat freeware program which places a
clock on your 
desktop. 
I know, there are hundreds of similar apps, but this
one is just right. 
Not 
too big, not too small, and just enough
configurability. The clock 
display 
is about .25" high by 1" wide and shows hours, minutes
and seconds. It 
can 
be set to show UTC or local time and the colors are
changeable. You can 
have it start when Windows starts or start it manually
if you create a 
shortcut. You can drag it to any position on the
desktop and it stays 
on 
top of all other windows. The zip file is only 39kb.
Amazing! Whoever 
wrote 
this must have had us hams in mind. I don't get
enthusiastic over 
software 
much, but this is a keeper.

Give it a try, you'll like it.
