Ham Clock: How Accurate Is the VOACAP?

#hamradio #propagation #hamclock #voacap In this video I check the accuracy of the Voice Of America Coverage Analysis Program. Note: Ham Clock version 3.03 included significant changes related to the DX clusters. Prior to 3.03, every single spot from the cluster to the clock resulted in the clock sending a show/heading command which a very vocal minority of dxcluster sysops objected to. From 3.03 onwards, the heading calculations are done locally to take the stress off of the remote cluster. For versions after 3.03, the clock puts no more load on the dxcluster network than any other user does, which is a good thing. However, the local CPU load is now very high for the stand-alone, ESP version, of the HF Clock. Users of the ESP version of the HF Clock will notice a loss of the ability to tap a callsign in the DX cluster and see the short path plot, beam heading, DX WX, and VOACAP data for the station you clicked on. The processor in the ESP HF Clock is just not powerful enough to keep up with the new programming that was required to minimize the load on the DX cluster servers. Veritium has a faster unit available if you can supply a monitor and mouse. It is available at this link: https://www.veritiumhfclock.com/ecomm... If you can supply a monitor, there is an inexpensive Inovato Quadra computer bundle that comes with the software installed. As I write this, the bundle only costs $50. It is available from: www.inovato.com If you only want the software, it is called Ham Clock. It is a free download. Here is a link that shows how to install it on a PC: https://w4cae.com/wait-a-hamming-minu... I thought maybe you might be interested to know which DX Cluster servers I’m currently using. Below are three of the ones that seem to have the most up-time. I have used each of these, a different one for each of my three Ham Clock applications. Note: If you leave the Login field blank, it will use the callsign you entered in the setup menu. If you have more than one instance of Ham Clock running, use your callsign-1, callsign-2, callsign-3, etc., so the clusters don’t block you for logging in too many times with the same callsign. port: 7300 host: mayodx.ath.cx login: or port: 7300 host: g6nhu.getmyip.com login: or port: 7300 host: dxc.w1nr.net login: Note: G6NHU created a new node that is optimized for Ham Clock version 3.03 or newer. I will post it below.

Yearly S7 (Executive) and S9 (VIP) members have access to the menu optimizations PDFs I’ve written for the FT-891, FT-991A, FTdx5000MP, FTdx101D/MP, FTdx10, and FT-710 AESS. Yearly S7 (Executive) members can receive one menu optimizations PDF while yearly S9 (VIP) members can receive multiple menu optimizations documents, plus my FT8 configuration guide for either the FTdx10 or the FT-710 AESS.
