Any suggestions for HF propagation websites with Grey line maps, dx clusters etc? I use a couple, but am curious what others are using. Thanks

Do you know this one?

http://www.dxmaps.com/spots/mapg.php?Lan=E&Frec=50&ML=M&Map=W2LN&HF=N&DXC=ING2&GL=S

This is my goto site for various band propagation.
I was asked, yet another weird question, of how I would like to be buried, when I finally bite the big one. The answer was actually pretty easy. Face-down, like a certain historical figure in the late 1980's, (I will not mention who, but some of you will get it, and that's enough.) Why??? It would be a burial that will satisfy everyone: (1) My enemies will say that it will show me where to go. (2) On the same point, I can have my enemies kiss my butt. (3) It will temporarily give someone a place to park a bicycle. See??? A WIN / WIN for everyone.

An abundance of Grey Line maps via Google search engine, just type in "Grey Line Maps/Charts" and bingo! ;)
