check out this site for a really neat propogation forecasting program http://www.g4ilo.com/software.html It is a bit hard to set up but well worth it! Julian has other software on his site; and he would appreciate [and in this case I think he deserves] a donation if you like the software BUT it has no cost til you decide you like it. [no, I really meant til you like it ; not til the 30 days expire; like some software; donations are totally voluntary]. I liked it enuf to make a donation! Just for the record..... I don't buy software til I am sure it will do the job; that it is really free and then I generally decide if that the guy had done a piece of software that is meaningful and not available elsewhere then I send a donation via Paypal. I sent julian a donation cuz he deserves it! Bill, VA3OL Kingston, ON
