  • Ham Clock EOL

    From Sean Rima@2:263/1 to All on Friday, January 30, 2026 11:44:57

    Hello everybody!

    Just for folks that might use HamClock, the software will cease to function after June 2026. The software is end of life from a message posted on the Web site.

    The developer has sadly passed away. RIP to Elwood Downey, WB0OEW SK.

    This is very SAD. RIP!

    Wish the software could continue . It seems like a great program I'm not ral active as a ham, but did install the software when I heard about it.
