The
following commands display useful information for working DX and contesting.
The
SHOW/SUN command displays the
sunrise and sunset for the specified country.
If the exact country prefix is not known, enter a valid call for the
country and the Cty prefix will be automatically determined. A SHOW/SUN without any callsign defaults to
the sun data for the user’s location. SH/SUN also works on US call areas of K0 through K9, resulting in the sunrise/sunset
being shown for each state
Examples:
show/sun show/sun v73cshow/sun k5 The SHOW/SUN command can also be used with an optional date parameter.
Examples:
show/sun v73aq=3-15-2001 show/sun =3-15-2001show/sun k0=3-15-2001
The SHOW/MUF command displays maximum
useable frequency (MUF) calculations for the country specified on the command.
The origination point is your station if you have previously specified it with
the SET/LOCATION command; otherwise, the latitude/ longitude of the node is
used. You do not have to know the exact
CTY prefix, just enter a call and AR-Cluster will calculate the country prefix.
Examples:
show/muf v73c
The SHOW/GRID command displays the
MaidenHead Grid Locator for a specified station.
Examples:
show/grid ka5eyh
The SHOW/TIME command displays the current
time if no country is presented. If a
country is included the local time in the country is displayed. Note:
it’s not possible to resolve the correct local time from all countries
due to their size, i.e. US, VE etc.
Examples:
show/timeshow/time v73c
