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.

The antenna here is only 9' above the ground.

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.

I do not Know about that program was, but i found some. The catch is you
need to know the latitude and longitude of that location.
If do you like it, reply to this post.
Thanks

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.

Well I guess I gotta get one of those fancy Drake receivers! Just kidding.
Maybe someday!

How about xearth? Gives you a choice of projections, can make it
your root window or run in its own window.

Also SWLTool has a simple globe representation of the world
with day/night shading.
