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. -
-
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: +particular callsign or a prefix.
+Example:
show/sun

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: +locations.

show/moon ea

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