that is what i have done to tune my propagation program.  it has been slow and
very time consuming process working with just a few logs from big stations over
the range of about a whole sunspot cycle.  what would be a big help is if i
could get an extract from the log checking database for whole contests, it would
still be a big job to boil it down to useful propagation data but would at least
cover most of the world in more detail than i have now.
