OK, you are on this quite a bit. I am late, again. I am going to review my
antenna this weekend and see if I can't get it up higher.

I certainly appreciate the reports you give as I am tracking when other's
find stations so that I can use that data, time, etc to find them.



I used to use an old DOS (or Windows) program called Geoclock that
displayed a world map with the sun and the sunrise/sunset line on
it, which is useful for guessing what times stuff would be coming
in.

Anyone know of a good X/Linux equivalent? I've got the KDE world clock
toy, but it only displays the current time and won't display arbitrary
time like Geoclock could.

NOt quite what you wanted, but close

Perhaps a sun/moon/satellite tracking program may be adapted?

This version has a graphical map, but looks like it may be a pain to set
up. I haven't tried it.
