[8:00 AM] Black Cat Systems Updates Mac Ham Radio Utility

Black Cat Systems has updated their ham-radio assistant program, Mac Grayliner, to version 2.1.2. According to Black Cat Systems:

Mac Grayliner displays a map of the entire Earth, showing day, night, and more importantly, the terminator between day and night. Studies have shown that enhanced radio propagation occurs between two points which are both on the day/night terminator.

In addition, the locations of active NCDXF/IARU beacons can be displayed in real time, along with the beacon callsign, country, and location. This should be helpful for identifying DX openings.

Mac Grayliner requires a Mac with a color display.

Mac Grayliner is available for US$15. You can find more information at the Black Cat Systems web site.
