Interesting Ham Radio Software
Have you ever wanted a GeoChron type program but didn't want to spend up to $500 or even more to
purchase the software. Now there are 2 alternatives that are both nice pieces of software in their own
right. The first is Simon's
World Map which is also an SDR software package. It runs on a PC and is highly configurable and
includes features like satellite tracking (almost every satellite you can imagine), rotor control, solar
weather, moon phases, Maidenhead Squares, CQ and ITU Zones, Sunrise and Sunset and a lot more. The second is
HamClock and it runs on either Raspberry Pi or Linux. It too is highly configurable
and includes DX Spots, a live contest list, visual solar spots, POTA and a lot more. The down
side is that have to purchase a Raspberry Pi computer (about $125) and you need to learn the
operate and install software on a Unix type of operating system. The cost for this software is
also FREE. |
