I had figured that out, but it took a while. I think that is an excellent explanation. However, I assume that this all means nothing with record breaking solar flares, geomagnetic storm conditions and proton bombardment. Honestly, we have the best solar flux of cycle 23 and we are being simultaneously attacked by band closing sun monsters :-) ----- 73, Rich - W3ZJ -----Original Message----- |

Interpreting PropView Graphs
Dave Bernstein
After generating a prediction for propagation between two locations,
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
check "Show Critical Frequencies" and uncheck "Show Open Bands". The black curve represents the lowest useable frequency (LUF) as a function of time. Any frequency lower than the black curve will not support communications due to absorption. The blue, green, and red curves provide a statistical range for the maximum useable frequency (MUF) as a function of time. The actual MUF will be at or above the blue curve with 90% confidence, at or above the green curve with 50% confidence, and at or above the red curve with 10% confidence. Any frequency above the actual MUF will not support communications, due to insufficient reflection. So at any specified time, you can identify which frequencies will likely support communication between the specified locations: they are bounded on the low-end by the black curve, and on the high-end by the statistical range between the blue and red curves. You can use the green curve as a kind of "expected MUF" curve; being an optimist, I tend to use the red curve for this purpose. To make it easier to see what ham bands are open when, uncheck the "Show Critical Frequencies" box and check "Show Open Bands". Horizontal lines represent ham bands lying between the LUF and statistical MUF. The thickist lines indicates openings based on the 90% confidence MUF (the blue curve), and the thinnest lines indicate openings based on the 10% confidence MUF (the red curve). If you now check "Show Critical Frequencies", the relationship between horizontal lines and critical frequency curves should be apparent. Suggested corrections, improvements, and/or clarifications to the above would be appreciated; I'll incorporate the result into the online help. 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In dxlab@y..., "Richard B Drake" <rich@w...> wrote:

I have now also installed PropView and I am afraid I can not reproduce any of your symptoms. It seems to be working fine though I am still trying to learn how to interpret the graphs. If I were you, I would first try simply rebooting, that often cures all kinds of unknown problems. If that fails to help, try re-installing PropView. What operating system are you running and what is your machine, speed/memory etc.? 73, Rich - W3ZJ -----Original Message----- |

PropView 1.0.1 is available for beta test
Dave Bernstein
PropView uses the included IonCap propagation prediction engine to
forecast the minimum and maximum useable frequencies between two locations over a specified 24 hour period. Results are rendered in an easy-to-understand color-graphic display. You can specify locations via direct latitude/longitude entry. Alternatively, PropView interoperates with DXView to allow location selection via DXCC prefix entry or by clicking on locations on a world map. A sample screen shot, online help, and download instructions are available via www.qsl.net/propview . Critique and suggestions would be appreciated. 73, Dave, AA6YQ |

Warning: Daylight Savings Time transition problem
Dave, AA6YQ
Today, I was dismayed to see that DXView's title bar was displaying a UTC
time that was off by one hour. I fired up WinWarbler, and the UTC time in its title bar was correct. DXView, WinWarbler, and most other DXLab applications use common code for this function -- how could the two programs report different times using the same code? I terminated DXView and restarted it -- the time shown in its title bar was now correct. These programs report time by checking the system clock every second using a Windows API that supposedly handles daylight savings time transitions. Evidently running programs don't make the time transition properly -- you must shut them down and restart them. I will investigate further -- perhaps there's something I can do to make this completely automatic, as originally intended. 73, Dave, AA6YQ |

DXView 1.2.6 is available
Dave, AA6YQ
In this release, I modified the internal representation of latitudes and
longitudes to correct a defect that caused the incorrect display of positions between 0 South and 0 1' North, or between 0 East and 0 1' West ; I doubt anyone would have ever noticed, but my 11th grade trig teacher would kill me if she ever discovered this error. While I believe that my testing covered all the combinations, it was a deep change -- so I'd appreciate it if someone who likes breaking things would take a shot at this version. I also completed the transition to direct latitude and longitude entry, converting the QTH position text boxes on the Configuration screen to accept things like 42 15' N rather than 42.25 with a check in the "North" box. When you first run this version, please verify that your QTH location is still correct. The online help has also been updated. This release is available by downloading - store it in your DXView folder and execute it. You can then run the extracted DXView126.exe . 73, Dave, AA6YQ |

Pathfinder Users: new YB search
Dave, AA6YQ
Thanks to Fred K3ZO, Pathfinder can now search the online Indonesian
callbook. Access to this site can be a little slow, as requests and results must traverse the Amateur Packet Radio (AMPR) Network, making response time dependent on channel utilization and the load at the AMPRNet-Internet gateway. To update your search library, click Pathfinder's "Info" button, or link to . The Pathfinder Web Client ( ) has been updated with the above addition; the only action required of its users is to click their Browser's "refresh" button. As always, reports of new online QSL sources or changes to existing sources are greatly appreciated. 73, Dave, AA6YQ Pathfinder is a free program that makes it easy to find QSL information from more than 100 web-accessible sources. See for additional information and download instructions. Or use the Pathfinder Web Client -- its a little less flexible, but requires no downloading or installation and runs in any Javascript-supporting browser on Windows, MacOS, Linux, or Unix; just visit . |
