Hi Gary, For the domestic or TP/DU medium wave DXer, GeoClock allows easy customization via text files, without unnecessary complexity or extraneous information like CQ/ITU zone boundaries, DXCC boundaries, ham prefixes, and so on.
I wonder if DX Atlas let you add MW station call signs & frequencies at the transmitter location, or even draw your own boxes or shapes on the maps if desired? GeoClock lets you do this. *See this screen shot* <https://app.box.com/s/7whf5d36pfxenfeqftue8k1zuxxewyoo> from the Japan map in my copy of GeoClock. (City names can be toggled on & off with a single keystroke in the program.) The area inside the rectangular box loads a zoomed view of the Tokyo region when clicked in GeoClock. Like I described earlier with Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, this customized map is great for following the terminator across Japan when chasing sunset-at-the-transmitter DX from that region. I know DX Atlas can do some cool things like displaying propagation conditions with a map overlay, but I doubt it works at all for medium wave. (I've never heard of a propagation program or plug-in that works at less than HF frequencies. I'd love to know if one exists though!) 73, Guy Atkins Puyallup, WA > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Gary Smith <[email protected]> > To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America < > [email protected]> > Cc: > Date: Thu, 21 May 2015 23:53:50 +0000 (UTC) > Subject: Re: [IRCA] GeoClock > I wonder what the attraction to GeoClock when you can get the same thing, > and so much more, with DX Atlas?
