Thanks for visiting my corner on the "intrawebs" for videos about ham radio, electronics, Arduino, and related amateur radio projects.

You can find me in most social media sites and on my own website, all links at the bottom of this page.

After a hiatus of almost 30 years from the hobby, returned to amateur radio and passed the exam for the Canadian license in November 2019 (currently holding Basic with Honors.)

Started in amateur radio in Argentina. First licensed during my teenage years, there I made my way up from the Novice class to Intermediate with Morse Code (previous call-sign: LU2HOT)
Ham Radio Dashboards are EASY!

Pablo. I've copied a jpg file into the same folder with your three web files. I would like this image file to show up in place of the original "SW Broadcast" box. What is the syntax? I've tried and apparently I'm not doing this correctly. Thank you for your time and help and this great dashboard.

Can someone tell me how to setup a box for pskreporter? It just says image can’t be displayed when I put the website address for pskreporters map in the config file.
@VA3HDL
@VA3HDL 4 дня назад
PSKreporter is not an image. Is a website. You should use one of the menu options for that. In my configuration file I have this as a menu option: "FF3300", "PSKREPORTER", "pskreporter.info/pskmap.html?preset&callsign=VA3HDL&txrx=tx&timerange=86400&distunit=km&hidenight=1", "1" You should customize the URL for your call-sign and the settings you want to use. 73

Hola Gregory, mi hamclock esta corriendo en una Raspberry Pi 3B+, o sea no esta dentro de mi PC (pero podria.) Cuando corre expone la UI a traves de la web asi hostname:8081/live.html y eso es lo que aproveche yo. Por otro lado tambien genera imagenes estaticas de los mapas que se pueden acceder desde la red si agregas la carpeta de hamclock en la configuracion del servidor web que quieras usar (en mi caso uso NGINX para esta parte.) Nota aparte, estoy trabajando en paralelo en un "clon" de hamclock que es solo una pagina web, para aquellos que quieran tener algo que se parezca pero no quieren correr ni instalar la aplicacion. Una de las cosas que descubri recientemente es que hamclock dependen muchisimo de los servicios que el autor corren en su propio server. Si su server algun dia queda offline mueren todos los hamclocks! 73 de VA3HDL
