TWCLOCK
This clock program will prove to be very helpful for ham operators. Besides
displaying local time and GMT, it can display the current time in
hundreds of major cities around the world. It also has an alarm to tell
you when it is time for a station ID.
The ID Alarm can be set to a desired delay of minutes and seconds. The
alarm will notify you it is time to ID in any or all of the
following ways.
- Blink the alarm button
- Beep the PC speaker
- Send your call in CW through your sound card
The CW audio can be fed to your rig, so the ID is automatically
transmitted. The CW is generated using Unixcw by Simon, GØFRD, which
is included in twclock.
There is also a Auto Reset option. This option automatically starts the
next time out without any user action.
