RIP WB0OEW, Elwood Downey, and RIP to the beloved Hamclock, which will cease to operate in its current form in June 2026. May you always be 599 and in the clear, Elwood!

Soon, #Hamclock will be no longer. Elwood Downey passed away today according to a source on FB. His website says all Hamclocks will cease to function "sometime in June 2026"

May he rest in peace.

It’s not bad. I’m pleased to be reducing how many computers I’m running 24x7. Now the Raspberry’s only job is #HamClock.

Man, I have a LOT of computers to unload before we move next year. Oof.

And on a positive note, I still love having Hamclock up so I can see all my spots. It's just NEAT!

Some mornings, the #HamClock display really shows off that #GrayLine truly is a thing.

The monitor above my day-job screen is almost always on #HamClock, but when someone creates an #EOC object in #APRS in Petosky, #Michigan the #YAAC map pops to foreground. The word “EMERGENCY” in the beacon triggers. Cool!

I activated #pota US-10658 again today and had better results than I did weeks ago. I also noticed a dead zone in the middle of my operating area from the #HamClock app; reliability map, and when compared to my RBN report, correlates precisely. #AmateurRadio #CW #CWMorse #FieldRadio
