Hi all,

You don't need any of this stuff to RV, but for those with the interest,
whether serious or just fun...

Here's a little LST clock download for your desktop. It works from your PC
clock. I've used it for ages

http://www.radiosky.com/sidclockdownload.html

Double-click on the clock face and a config screen pops up where you
can put in your time-zone difference from GMT(GMT is 0) and also your
Longitude. Remember to update
it for Summer Time changes though.

Configuring it.......

If you are not sure of your local time variance from GMT then I have
attached a link
to a site where you can click the cursor on your area of the world and it
will show you.

If you don't know your longitude then here is a link to a site which will
help. The site sells sundials (I'm not craftily advertising :-), but this is
definitely a very useful page.

Note for those in the UK...when you have the 'streetmap' up and have entered
your postcode, look under the map at the top of the blue box for a tiny
button which says 'click here to conversion/measure coordinates', click and
it will show your longitude.

Hope these help someone.

BTW here's a space-weather site with real-time solar wind speed. (The
auroral map looks interesting...'sphere of influence' so to speak.)
