Daytime settings

MPAD is able to understand the following keywords:

  • full. Returns all data for the given day (program default). Note that full can refer to time frames or the amount of data that is returned by the program (dependent on the action keyword)

  • Morning (Keywords: morn, morning)

  • Daytime (Keywords: day, daytime, noon)

  • Evening (Keywords: eve, evening)

  • Night (Keywords: nite, night, tonite, tonight).

tonite and tonight keywords will set the date keyword to today unless the user has already specified a different day.

MPAD 0.60 or later:

  • WX reports: all references are in the user's local time zone (based on the coordinates associated with the user's call sign or the given reference such e.g. a city name)
    • Night: 00:00 / 12AM local time
    • Morning: 06:00 / 6AM local time
    • Daytime: 12:00 / 12PM local time
    • Evening: 10:00 / 6PM local time
    • Note that this is also the order in which e.g. wx data is pulled. A day always starts with the "Night" and ends with the "Evening" values.
  • Everything else: unless noted differently, all other time references are in UTC

Whereas noted for the respective action keyword, these daytime setting keywords (and also the date setting keywords) can be combined with the action keywords. Examples:

San Francisco, CA tomorrow full --> returns a full wx report for location 'San Francisco' and date setting 'tomorrow'
satpass iss friday morning --> returns the first pass of the ISS on Friday morning
riseset thursday --> returns sunrise/sunset and moonrise / moonset values for Thursday.

If an action keyword does not support daytime information (e.g. repeater, riseset etc.), the daytime keyword information will be ignored.
