If you’re one of nearly 10,000 HamClock users, please be aware that the original HamClock backend server will stop working sometime in June 2026 following the original developer passing away in January 2026. To continue using HamClock after this date, and to keep receiving updates, you must switch the HamClock backend server. To find out more about this, and for links to guides for both Raspberry Pi-based HamClocks or those using an Inovato Quadra, visit hamclockisnotdead.com. The replacement open source HamClock backend server is called OpenHamClock Backend and more details can be found at ohb.works. Unlike the original, this is completely open source and run by a team of developers so there is no one particular person responsible. The same team is also providing updates to the HamClock client itself, which is now up to version 4.26.
