[NZ4O Spaceweather] "Daily" HF/MF/VHF Radiowave Propagation Forecasts Useful?

[Thomas F. Giella]

I received 1022 responses to my query concerning the usefulness of my daily 
HF/MF/VHF Radiowave Propagation Forecasts. Thanks much to all that 
participated.

Here is the breakdown:

MF- Yes 1020 No 2
HF- Yes 1022 No 0
VHF- Yes 101 No 5

I also received 36 requests asking that I once again begin producing the LF 
radiowave propagation forecast. I will give that consideration.

So the bottom line is that I will continue to produce my HF/MF/VHF (6M) 
forecasts on a daily basis.

I'm trying to determine if my "daily" HF, MF and VHF radiowave propagation
forecasts are really useful for my fellow hams and SWL's. The forecasts are
produced by me manually, using my understanding of the ionosphere at HF, MF
VHF frequencies in all hemispheres, both N-S and E-W.

As there is no radiowave propagation software used, it is a very time
consuming process. Of course I don't mind the time donated by me if the
radiowave propagations are useful.

If you find the "daily" forecasts useful please email me directly at
thomasfgiella at tampabay.rr.com only with your observations and opinions.

Please use the following reporting format:

MF- Yes Or No
HF- Yes Or No
VHF- Yes Or No

If they are found not useful on a "daily" basis, I will resort to my 7 day
period combined MF/HF/6M radiowave propagation forecast to be published only
at http://www.solarcycle24.org every Friday at 0000 UTC.

Also one last time for year 2012:

These radiowave propagation forecasts are provided free of charge to the
radio hobby communities but donations are graciously accepted. You can
donate by going to http://www.paypal.com and clicking on the "Send Money"
tab. My Paypal ID/email address is thomasfgiella at tampabay.rr.com .
