5. Headings and propagation

- -

There are three commands in DXSpider to help you get the best DX possible. -These are SHOW/SUN, SHOW/MOON and -SHOW/HEADING. These commands will only work for you if you -have entered your personal details. They use your entered location as -a reference, so if you have not entered it or have entered it incorrectly -they will not return the correct information.

- -

5.1 Sun -

- -

The SHOW/SUN command can be used in three different ways. It -can be used to show sunrise and sunset times for your own station, a -particular callsign or a prefix.

-

Example:

-

-

-
-show/sun
-
-
-

-

The output from this would look something like this ..

-

-

-
-sh/sun
-Location                              Rise   Set      Azim   Elev
-G0VGS  Morecambe, Lancashire          07:08Z 17:39Z  205.3   24.1
-
-
-

-

-

-
-sh/sun 5b4
-
-
-

-

would look like this ...

-

-

-
-sh/sun 5b4
-Location                              Rise   Set      Azim   Elev
-5B     Cyprus-5B                      04:23Z 15:40Z  244.0   18.8  
-
-
-

-

You can also specify multiple arguments like this ...

-

-

-
-sh/sun gw4veq 5b4ab zs
-
-
-

-

and then the output would look like this ...

-

-

-
-sh/sun gw4veq 5b4ab zs
-Location                              Rise   Set      Azim   Elev
-GW4VEQ Brungwran, Isle of Anglesey IO 07:14Z 17:48Z  204.9   24.9
-5B     Cyprus-5B                      04:23Z 15:40Z  244.5   18.3
-ZS     So-Africa-ZS1-ZS               04:31Z 17:28Z  289.9   41.3
-ZS     So-Africa-ZS5-ZS               03:44Z 16:34Z  278.5   32.0
-ZS     So-Africa-ZS6-ZS               03:59Z 16:42Z  277.6   35.0

- -

5.2 Moon -

- -

The SHOW/MOON command works in the same way as the -SHOW/SUN command. This program however, calculates the -rise and set times of the moon for a prefix or callsign, together -with the current azimuth and elevation of the sun at these -locations.

-

Example:

-

-

-
-show/moon ea
-
-
-

-

The output from this command would look like this ..

-

-

-
-sh/moon ea
-Location                              Rise   Set      Azim   Elev  RGain dB
-EA     Spain-EA                       08:15Z 20:09Z  257.2    9.5      -0.6  
-
-
-

-

You can see that the output is similar to the SHOW/SUN -command, with slightly different fields.

- -

5.3 Heading -

- -

The SHOW/HEADING command works in the same way as the -SHOW/SUN and SHOW/MOON commands but outputs beam -headings for a specified callsign or prefix. Reciprocal beam headings -are also calculated.

-

Example

-

-

-
-show/heading zl
-
-
-

-

The output from this command would look like this ..

-

-

-
-sh/heading zl
-ZL New-Zealand-ZL1-ZL: 7 degs - dist: 11238 mi, 18087 km Reciprocal heading: 355 degs
-ZL New-Zealand-ZL2-ZL: 9 degs - dist: 11540 mi, 18574 km Reciprocal heading: 353 degs
-ZL New-Zealand-ZL3-ZL: 19 degs - dist: 11634 mi, 18724 km Reciprocal heading: 345 degs
-ZL New-Zealand-ZL4-ZL: 34 degs - dist: 11783 mi, 18963 km Reciprocal heading: 332 degs
