<div dir="ltr">Maybe someone who understands the DX Spider software could contact the HamClock author, Elwood Downey, WBØOEW, at <a href="mailto:ecdowney@clearskyinstitute.com">ecdowney@clearskyinstitute.com</a>.

I have been planning to voice my opinion. What you tolerate as a SysOp is completely up to your individual threshold level. But, I have basically outlawed any user on my nodes from connecting if using HamClock. At one point, I had 6 users running the software 24/7. I refer to this software as a "resource hog" because of how much data it requests for every spot, then resends the users Name, QTH and QRA every 15-30 seconds (which is probably the default). I have a modest computer and cable modem setup for the cluster and home network usage. If the connected user callsign appears like this (AA4U), they are probably using HamClock. I will usually ask the user to connect to a larger scale node, after explaining why it's a resource hog.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">YMMV !!!</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">73, Steve - AA4U </div><div dir="auto"><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Mar 1, 2023, 3:59 PM Michael Walker via Dxspider-support <<a href="mailto:dxspider-support@tobit.co.uk" target="_blank">dxspider-support@tobit.co.uk</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi Guys<div><br></div><div>Since I am digging into a few things, one of my users was sending a </div><div><br></div><div>set/location about every 15 seconds</div><div><br></div><div>and then a show/heading for every spot.</div><div><br></div><div>It turns out it was HAMCLOCK which seems really chatty. </div><div><br></div><div>Mike va3mw</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
