Yeah, it's gone. (From the bottom of the home page, Andy.) There is now a "Current System Time" statement just to the right of the Follow Me on Twaddler link at the bottom. Problem is, it's only valid at the time the page is loaded unlike its predecessor. Oh well, I never used it anyway.

I have a copy of Automachron V5 (ca. 2003) which will keep your computer clock synched with any time server. I use time-a.nist.gov. It also displays UTC, although again, it doesn't update its display automatically, but it does update a whole lot faster than the web site. The license for that package says it can be distributed as long as the copyright info remains intact. Therefore, if you want a copy, drop a line to w5det@arrl.net. It's only about 350K, so it will easily attach to an email.

Using Achron along with HRD and/or ACLog, which do update their UTC displays means that my log entries are always accurate within milliseconds + operator latency.

What?!? You're still killing trees and wasting time and money sending QSL cards via Snail Mail? Whatever for? Go Unpostal!

I guess I should have commented that since WinXP the clock in Windoze also can be synched directly with most network time servers.
