Hello! While I was operating as E51SIX on 6m EME and had no internet, I sure missed the great world maps on the ON4KST chat pages, which show the moonrise "terminator" as it moves across the earth. So, since I wanted to make sure to have that capability next time when I am out on DXpedition without the internet, I added that capability to GJTRACKER.
Version 2.0 of GJTRACKER is now available, and includes a fairly detailed world Field Locator map to show what parts of the world can see the moon (or any other celestial object). This feature is accessed by selecting the "Real Time" mode when you run the program. The GJHELP.pdf file has been updated to reflect the new addition to the Real Time window: http://bigskyspaces.com/w7gj/GJTRACKER.zip The map redraws itself every minute. Sorry, but it is not currently a user-sizable map. The screen size setting of 1280x768 pixels on my laptop is just big enough to show the entire world map at once. CU on the moon!
