It now does all the calculations locally.<div><br></div><div>When a HamClock initially connects to a node, it sends the following:</div><div><br></div><div><p style="margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal;"><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures">1705478550^(DXCommand) </span><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures; color: #b42419"><b>G6NHU-10</b></span><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures"> connected from 192.168.1.137 cols 80</span></p>

Elwood feels that the half-life for HamClock updates is a couple of months so it will take a while for the changes to pickle through but we should start seeing a decrease in show/heading commands straight away and that decrease will continue as more people update.</div><div><br></div><div>Hopefully this will satisfy everyone.</div><div><br></div><div>73 Keith G6NHU</div><div><br></div></span></div></body></html>
