Amateur Ham Radio HF Propagation Tools - Steve Nicols G0KYA
/The ICQ Amateur / Ham Radio Podcasts Martin Butler (M1MRB/W9ICQ) discuss propagation with Steve Nicols G0KYA. Steve advises some of the tools that can be used to achieve contacts even during unfavourable conditions.
RSGB Propagation Studies Committee Tools
Propquest - Shows real-time critical frequency and MUFs over various path lengths. Excellent tool for HF users - http://www.rsgb.org/propquest
Predtest - Designed by Gwyn (G4FKH), calculates the probability of propagation over different paths and for different modes - http://www.rsgb.org/predtest
VOACap for RadCom - Shows probability of propagation to 28 different locations around the world - the same locations used in RadCom predictions. Can be tweaked for your particular station including mode, gain and power - http://www.rsgb.org/voacap
Proppy for RadCom - Uses the latest ITURHFPPROP tool to calculate the probability of propagation to the same 28 locations used in RadCom - http://www.rsgb.org/proppy
G0KYA Monthly HF Charts - Simple HF propagation prediction charts for each month. Just click on the month and the time to see where you could work - http://www.rsgb.org/g0kya
