Package: ibp (0.21-5)

Viewer for the International Beacon Project

Ibp shows which of the beacons of the International Beacon Project is transmitting now. The user is presented with a list of Beacons with the current beacon highlighted. In a separate graphical window the position and short/long path to the beacon can be seen.

The list can be viewed in either single or multiband mode, a Maidenhead locator, when used as an argument, shows distance and azimuth to each beacon.

You will need an accurate clock because the beacons transmit at 10 second intervals.
