AZMAP by AA6Z - GOOD SOFTWARE FOR YAGI DIRECTION & AZIMUTH MAP

Sejak saya menggunakan ant Yagi untuk bekerja di 10m, Program AZMAP ini sangat membantu menentukan arah yagi ke QTH stesen yang dikehendaki untuk mendapatkan signal yang terbaik.

Berikut sebahagian artikel yang saya petik daripada Laman Web AA9Z berkenaan software tersebut.

AZMap is a freeware Windows program which will generate, and display an Azimuthal-Equidistance map of the world, centered on any point on the surface of the earth (except very near the poles)...


Control Panel dialog which interacts in real time with the map to produce effects and optionally add any of the following optional overlay elements.
  • short and long path from the center to a specified endpoint.
  • range circles with specified spacing (constant distance from the center.
  • sunlit/darkness shading with flexible interactive time adjustment
  • latitude/longitude grid display with specified spacing.
  • display of location identifier tags using a separate location atlas
  • display of NCDXC beacon location tags
  • display of fixed auroral rings (approximated and fixed)
