Hi Steve,
Excellent, we should have an eye on these things more often.
I use ASAPS for these things, more info abt that is available here:
http://www.ips.gov.au/Main.php?CatID=7&SecID=1&SecName=Software&SubSecID=1&SubSecName=ASAPS
I include a prediction for "Best Useable Frequency" between Stockholm
and Dallas (had to pick some location). I should update the scan to
reflect this, trouble is that it looks like 40 meters should be good and
there is just so much traffic there...
