9M2PJU Amateur Radio Contesting Clock

Precision Timing and Propagation Intelligence for Modern Ham Radio Operators

When every second counts in a contest, accuracy, awareness, and speed are essential. The 9M2PJU Amateur Radio Contesting Clock is a premium, high-visibility dashboard designed to keep operators on time, on band, and in the know. Whether youโ€™re operating from a home station, portable field location, or managing a contest team, this tool ensures you never miss a beat.


๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ Triple-Clock Precision

Time synchronization is the backbone of successful contesting. The 9M2PJU Clock provides:

  • Primary UTC Clock: Large digital readout in Orbitron typography for clear, instant referenceโ€”critical for logging and submission accuracy.
  • Local Station Time: Displays your current timezone alongside UTC for context-sensitive operations.
  • Contest Countdown: Dynamic timer for contest duration, window openings, or event timing.

With all three displays in one glance, operators can focus on operating while staying perfectly synchronized.


โ˜€๏ธ Real-Time Propagation Intelligence

Understanding the bands is just as important as knowing the time. The dashboard brings live solar indices directly to your screen:

  • SFI (Solar Flux Index), Sunspot Number, A-Index, and K-Index updates
  • Smart Band Advice: Alerts for optimal HF openings, gray line propagation, or noise conditions

Instant solar awareness helps you maximize contacts, adjust antennas, and shift bands when conditions are at their best.


๐ŸŒ Automatic Location Awareness

Field operations demand accuracy without distractions. This dashboard automatically:

  • Calculates your Maidenhead Grid Square (6-character): No manual lookup required
  • Displays exact latitude and longitude: Perfect for portable antennas and SOTA/POTA operations

Whether youโ€™re in a contest or a portable operation, youโ€™ll always know where you are and how to log contacts efficiently.
