|
<P>There are three commands in DXSpider to help you get the best DX possible.
|
|
These are <B>SHOW/SUN</B>, <B>SHOW/MOON</B> and
|
|
<B>SHOW/HEADING</B>. These commands will only work for you if you
|
|
have entered your personal details. They use your entered location as
|
|
a reference, so if you have not entered it or have entered it incorrectly
|
|
they will not return the correct information.</P>

|
|
|
|
<P>The <B>SHOW/SUN</B> command can be used in three different ways. It
|
|
can be used to show sunrise and sunset times for your own station, a
|
|
particular callsign or a prefix. </P>

<P>The <B>SHOW/MOON</B> command works in the same way as the
|
|
<B>SHOW/SUN</B> command. This program however, calculates the
|
|
rise and set times of the moon for a prefix or callsign, together
|
|
with the current azimuth and elevation of the sun at these
|
|
locations.</P>
