Hi Gary,
For the domestic or TP/DU medium wave DXer, GeoClock allows easy
customization via text files, without unnecessary complexity or extraneous
information like CQ/ITU zone boundaries, DXCC boundaries, ham prefixes, and
so on.
I wonder if DX Atlas let you add MW station call signs & frequencies at the
transmitter location, or even draw your own boxes or shapes on the maps if
desired? GeoClock lets you do this. *See this screen shot*
<https://app.box.com/s/7whf5d36pfxenfeqftue8k1zuxxewyoo> from the Japan map
in my copy of GeoClock. (City names can be toggled on & off with a single
keystroke in the program.) The area inside the rectangular box loads a
zoomed view of the Tokyo region when clicked in GeoClock. Like I described
earlier with Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, this customized map is great
for following the terminator across Japan when chasing
sunset-at-the-transmitter DX from that region.
I know DX Atlas can do some cool things like displaying propagation
conditions with a map overlay, but I doubt it works at all for medium wave.
(I've never heard of a propagation program or plug-in that works at less
than HF frequencies. I'd love to know if one exists though!)
