So I have a new computer now, which is going to take over the role of VHF/UHF coverage mapping as well as generating the morse code practice materials. This will enable using the more CPU intensive Longley-Rice propagation model for VHF and UHF. I'm also thinking about starting a new project for HF propagation with the Linux version of VOACAP, and the pythonProp mapping scripts.
The plan is to setup a site where you log in to your own config page, and setup your location, antenna and operating frequencies then choose what types of operating activities you are looking for. I'm going to shoot for weekly emails providing tips about band openings. The smoothed sunspot numbers don't change during a month, so the only reason to do weekly would be to link it in to other things such as DXpeditions or contests. Since I don't have ready access to those things in a database, that is one of those "maybe someday" kind of things. So I've got VOACAP for Linux setup and working, now I just need to get started on the rest of it. Ideas welcome. |
