Ham Sphere 5.0 update

Hi Richard, NN7ET

You are receiving this short newsletter as you are an active or expired subscriber with HamSphere. HamSphere 5.0 was released 1 April 2023 and it is a combination of the older HamSphere 3.0 and 4.0 systems.
• 11 virtual HF bands with realistic HF propagation (10-160m) based on live Sun Spot numbers and solar flux data.

• Fully compatible with HamSphere 4.0 rig designs, antennas and plug-ins. No need to start over again with your rig or QSL card design.

• Comes with new (newcomer) bands (6m, 2m and 70cm) with lenient and forgiving propagation, just like HamSphere 3.0, but where special antennas are available to give an idea on how antennas work and how to use directivity.

• Focus on Ham Radio QSOs and conversations, interesting and achievable awards, Amateur Radio NETs, DX activations and inspiring contests.
All your previously achieved Awards, Logbooks, Contest results, Top-Lists, QSL-Cards etc from HamSphere 3.0 and 4.0 activities are still available as Legacy data along with HamSphere 5.0 statistics.

Unless you are an active subscription, we have included a 30 day trial in this newsletter.

HamSphere 5.0 is available on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iPhone (iPhone in beta test).
