Many thanks to Peter (and his able assistants) for the informative presentation on ‘Propagation Forecasts’ this past Wednesday, I found it fascinating and very useful.

On a related note I happened to stumble across the following news on the RSGB website:

The RSGB Propagation Studies Committee has begun work on a new web HF propagation prediction service. It will feature both area coverage predictions as well as point-to-point on-demand predictions. Presently, only area coverage has been completed and this can be seen at www.predtest.uk. This will soon be followed by the P2P predictions. It is planned that following these trials the RSGB website will host the predictions. Comments and suggestions are invited by Gwyn Williams, G4FKH via email to g4fkh@sky.com.

The site itself (screenshot at the top of this post) also mentions that the Python source code behind the new tool is open source and available on GitHub.

Please share your own propagation tools with us in the comments below 🙂
