In order for your HamClock to work after June 2026, you must switch to a different backend server. Since my original post on the future of HamClock, a number of very talented people have been hard at work in examining the traffic to and from HamClocks and the host server and reproducing it. First of […]
** UPDATE **HamClock is not dead. See here. On Thursday 29th January 2026 a simple notice appeared on the HamClock home page. I’ve worked with Elwood Downey, WB0OEW very closely on HamClock over the last couple of years and we’d become good friends. I emailed him straight away using a different address to the one […]
If you have the Quadra 4K, see here. There’s a bug somewhere which stops the log tidying working correctly on some installations of HamClock, including the original Inovato Quadra. As a temporary fix, it’s possible to start HamClock with logging disabled and this will describe how to do that. First, close HamClock. Click the padlock […]

I wrote about the new On The Air pane here. Configurations HamClock now allows you to save and load configurations. This […]
HamClock 4.09 has just been released and the familiar POTA and SOTA panes have been replaced by a single pane called “On The Air” (displayed as “On Air” if it’s set to show in the tall left panel). It adds a new organisation, World Wide Flora & Fauna, abbreviated to WWFF and has been designed […]
Note: this entire process was tested and re-validated on the 6th March 2026 using a Raspberry Pi 4, the ‘recommended’ version of Raspberry Pi OS and HamClock 4.22. I appreciate that the last post here was about the HamClock and I said I wouldn’t be providing a guide to building one but I’ve been asked […]
For some years I’d been aware of HamClock and around April last year I decided to investigate further and built one using an old Raspberry Pi 3B that I had spare.If you’ve never heard of HamClock, it’s described on the authors page thus: “HamClock is a kiosk-style application that provides real time space weather, radio […]
