FYI: http://prop.hfradio.org/

The NW7US HFRadio.org Propagation Center which features a collection of live space weather and radio propagation data, as well as commentary by NW7US, graphics, and so forth, has been updated with a new layout. The data has been "load balanced" between several pages.

Specific data that is of interest:

1. CQ Magazine "Last-Minute Forecast" table is updated daily - for those who follow my column in CQ Magazine, you will know that the "Last Minute Forecast" is used with the published propagation tables. Use the latest table for DX scheduling, etc.

2. Optimal Working Frequencies and predicted Smoothed Sunspots and 10.7-cm Flux tables are updated on a regular basis.

3. Discussion forum for a wide topical range - from Propagation to Shortwave Listening, NVIS, and more ( http://hfradio.org/forums/ ).

4. All of the major data is syndicated via RSS (XML RSS version 2.0) ( http://hfradio.org/propsupport/prop.rss ).

5. Same information, plus SWL BCL database search, DX spots, Callsign Lookup via WAP/WML ( http://wap.hfradio.org ).

6. Propagation and Space Weather e-Alert service (as used by the troops in the Middle East Theater, pigeon racers, and DXers alike) ( http://prop.hfradio.org/ealert/ ).

There will be additional updates and changes in the next several weeks. Also, I am fund-raising for a new server. I am working out a very good deal for a new 1U rack-mount server to host the propagation center. This will be a helpful upgrade, which is much needed. The cost of upgrading and the monthly costs are mostly coming out of my own pocket. Donations from patrons is greatly appreciated.
