A really cool website: http://www.voacap.com/coverage.html
Enter your QTH, type of antenna, and power, and click "save as default." Then Run Prediction. You'll get a picture of where your signal might reach right now. You can also set time and date forward or back to see estimated propagation conditions in the past or future. Another excellent propagation resource, of a very different source, is WSPRnet. Here's a link to the main map: http://wsprnet.org/drupal/wsprnet/map Basically, it's a qrp beacon network. You can see who's being heard by whom on any chosen band, or on all bands. You can do much more, too, if you download and use the WSPR software. Too long a story to go into here, but very worthwhile and fun. Especially useful when you're trying out antennas; with a little effort, you can gather heaps of data on receiving and transmitting capabilities of your antennas, both with stateside and DX paths. Check 'em out. 73, Tony KT0NY ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
