HamClock Launcher 1.4

Bundles HamClock 4.24 with its updated User Guide. No changes to the launcher itself in this release.

What's New in HamClock 4.24

This release pulls in significant new features and bug fixes from the Open HamClock 4.24.0 release:

  • Lightning strikes on the map — real-time lightning data (sourced from Blitzortung), with configurable concentric range rings
  • Advanced propagation maps and band conditions with new backend support, including reload when the antenna configuration changes
  • VOACAP pane improvements — a white border around "now" and a NOW arrow indicating current modeled conditions
  • Environment variable overrides for first-run defaults, useful for scripted setups and power users
  • Updated User Guide covering all 4.24 features — bundled as HamClockKey.pdf

For the complete list of changes and bug fixes, see the upstream 4.24.0 release notes.
