Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Gray Line Software

IMHO, I wouldn't see that aspect as being of much significance for SR/SS DX unless 
we're looking at TA or TP, which I doubt you are. That said, although it isn't explicit,
I think with GeoClock it's 'in there'.

     Russ,
 
       
 
       I use Geoclock, but it does not provide a view that
 accounts for
       the tilt of the earth or if it does, I'm looking
 at the wrong map.

  My recent return to serious AM DXing has only proven that I
  still have a 
  lot to learn.
  
  For instance, I spent the past day reading detailed
 reprints
  from the 
  NRC and IRCA publications involving Local Sunrise and
 Sunset
  DXing, 
  including a review of maps and calculations. Complicating
  the issue are 
  FCC rules changes which have changed the types of stations
  and their 
  authorizations.
  
  At the moment, I'm looking for software or a web based
  application that 
  would provide the following information without having to
 do
  a lot of 
  manual calculations:
  
  1.) Gray line map showing also the tilt of the earth
 between
  solstice 
  and equinox. In other words, a map that provides a real
 time
  view of the 
  earth as it really is today. Not a simplistic
 representation
  that does 
  not change with the seasons.
  
  2.) The ability to select any two points on earth and see
 if
  they are in 
  darkness or light.
  
  3.) Domestically, I'd like a map that shows which areas
 are
  operating 
  under sunrise or sunset authorizations. In other words, one
  that will do 
  the calculations for me.
  
  Does such a tool exist?
