HAMCLOCK

Due to what I believe is the illness of the HamClock developer, HamClock will cease to operate after June 2026.

I've come across a replacement that is available now and can run on a number of platforms. Here's the link:


We will need to change the HamClock running in the shack, as well as any that people are running at home. I will change to this program on my Quatro when I get some available time.

Cheers

If you go to: https://openhamclock.com/

You can run it within your browser. I have it running on my MacBook Pro.

Found these comments while reading recently::


"Amateur Radio,the ORIGINAL Social Network".


"It's okay if you don't like Ham Radio,it's kind of a smart people hobby

anyway".


"Never under estimate an old man with a Ham radio".


Stay well,all.

Moon bounce or EME

I thought this interesting…

Quote:

However, radio amateurs took up EME communication as a hobby; the first amateur radio moon bounce communication took place in 1953, and amateurs worldwide still use the technique. Radio ham Ray Noughton (VK3ATN) of Birchip, Victoria, Australia accomplished Australia's first moon bounce with a home-built 250 m wide, 30 m antenna with a 100 watt signal in 1970. (NASA scientists, having had ridiculed his DIY project, claiming that at least a kilowatt would be required, invited him to the U.S., all expenses paid, to learn from his grassroots engineering. Naughton later became involved in Australia's first satellite.

End of quote.
