After approximately 13 years, my HF solar WordPress widget stopped working, so I need to make some repairs. I learned the new Widget API and re-implemented the widget plugin. I’ve tried it out on my site, and it appears to be working. Overall, I think the new API made the implementation much easier. A new version of the plugin is available on the linked page.
Because the new Widget API seems simpler, I went ahead and re-implemented the QRZ Callsign Search widget too. A new version of the plugin is available from the linked page.
Are your Azimuthal map bearings in Degrees True, or does it take into account variation?
0 degrees means true north rather than magnetic north. If you’re putting up an antenna using a magnetic compass, you’ll need to apply the right adjustment to correct for the difference between magnetic north and true north. The difference between magnetic north and true north varies with time and location. My best compass lets me dial in the difference for my local area, so I don’t have to make the adjustment everytime.
