ITURHFProp - Propagation Predictions

[Oliver]

+++ NEW PRESENTATION TOOL FOR THE KW-DISTRIBUTION +++
Gwyn, G4FKH, provides a prediction tool for short wave propagation at http://www.predtest.uk. It is based on a new ITU prediction program, called ITURHFProp, which has been more accurate in its predictions than older prediction techniques.

With the support of James A. Watson, HZ1JW, the first phase of the project has now been achieved. The application works with a very readable and easy-to-understand interface. However, the maps on the map ("Area Coverage") have a fixed location in Central England.
The point-to-point model works with variable locations. The software is still in development and it may be that on the specified page one or the other still changes. It is, however, to be assumed that at this stage of development there will now only be cosmetic changes.
The entry page shows a world map with the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for a given HF band at a given time. However, it is also possible to display the reliability of a connection line or the expected S value. The selection is done via drop-down menus.
