[IRCA] software suggestion?

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

One thing I find happening too frequently when I'm DXing is that I will miss the top of the hour, being intent, it seems, on doing something that could be done at any other time, like checking a parallel.   

Obviously, I need a timer of some sort, and a PC utilility would fill the bill, given that I'm already using the laptop to tune the radios, record audio etc etc.   The woods are full of freeware PC utilities that will warn you when "time is up", or in my case indicate that the top of the hour is nigh.   Has anyone else investigated such timers, and if so, what do you suggest?   I don't mind paying for something that is worthwhile, as freeware sometimes means spyware....

Thanks.

Nick
