Recent versions of Windows allow you to show multiple other time zones in the task bar, all labeled and synchronized to an internet time source.This is a printable clock face for 8″ analog clocks, with a fixed “Local” inner wheel and a rotatable “UTC” outer wheel. That ensures you have the correct date and time in your logs. If you are planning to use a computer to control your rig, encode and decode various digital modes, and log your contacts, I highly recommend that you set your computer's clock to primarily display UTC in 24 hour format. I am returning back to ham radio after many years so now I need a UTC clock.to use with logbook. Look at I made an igHome(iGoogle alternative) gadget for my home page from there.Īug 25th 2019, Joined: Apr 4th 1998, 00:00 But, it may only register AM/PM and not be a 24-hour clock if you are hoping for that. You can try the UTC Clock function on Clox 2000, available at URL Īlternatively, you can set an Internet Bookmark to a webpage from that only shows UTC. I wrote a program to display local and UTC time on the desktop. Its small and is fully customizable it's free or you can buy for more features it will give you local time and date as well as utc time and date give it a try it mite work for you You could do the same thing with one of these watches and your keyboard or the edge of your monitor, if that sounds like a reasonable solution. :-) I've got GMT, accurate and exact, in front of me any time I'm in the car. I took the band off mine, and stuck it to my dashboard with a tiny bit of coax-seal. ![]() It's always accurate, won't ever need a battery, and inexpensive. And it has "dual time zones"-which means I can have local time on a small segment of the display, and GMT (London time) in the big display. I bought a Casio watch for about $23 it's digital, solar powered, and sets itself every night from WWVB. I'm doing a lot of HF from the car and wanted a UTC clock for logging-to minimize the chance of an error converting local to GMT while I'm also trying to work a station AND keep from being in an accident. This isn't "desktop," but you might find it worth considering. When daylight-savings time is over, if you add 8 hours to your clock, you will have the time in UTC. You are at 1300 local time, so adding 7 hours to your time will give yuo 2000 UTC. Right now, it is 1600 local time here in EDT, so is is 2000 UTC. Pacific standard time is 8 hours ahead of UTC and your daylight savings time is 7 hours ahead of UTC. Here in the Eastern time zone, we are 5 hours behind UTC in standard time and 4 hours behind in daylight savings time.

Go to your control panel, click on the date and time icon, then select GMT as your time zone. If you are using a Windows operating system, you should be able to configure your clock settings to UTC and to not change with daylight-savings time. UTC does not change with various local daylight-savings time changes. If Alpha Clock is a UTC clock, it would not have a provision for time-zone setting, as UTC is a fixed time zone. The problem is I keep on forgetting is it plus 8hrs or minus 8hrs for CA time? Do you adjust for DST or not adjust for DST? Etc. I tried Alpha Clock but it doesn't even seem to allow for a time zone setting. I've been looking online for a free program that will install a digital UTC clock on my desktop.
