I want to share with you a quick and very useful project I just did some time ago… and can really gives a big help understanding the HF conditions in real time.

You probably know the Geochrone , this amazing device that allow to know tons of informations in real time about the whole World. Geochrone it is really a Masterpiece, a luxury tool; but we can get something similar with a small Raspberry, pratically at no cost !!! So why not trying ? So let’s go forward and explore this nice alternative: the Hamclock

Hamclock is an amazing software that follow the idea of Geochrone, and provides real time space weather, radio propagation models, operating events and other information particularly useful to the radio amateur; HamClock may be built for Raspberry Pi, macOS, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, Windows WSL or most any other UNIX-like system supporting the X11 Windows system.
