[TOEC] VOACAP Propagation Planner re-visited!

[Jari Perkiömäki]

Hejsan,

Let me take this opportunity to inform you of a revamped online service, VOACAP Propagation Planner.

VOACAP Propagation Planner ( www.voacap.com/planner.html ) is a comprehensive (and free-of-charge) planning tool for HF contesters
and DXers. So far, the only problem has been that you must have been a dedicated enthusiast to run all the software required to
maximize your propagation-prediction analysis efforts either for contests or DXpeditions. Now, things have changed: a new, more
user-friendly version — 2.0 beta — is finally available!

The new online version does all heavy-lifting and number-crunching on the VOACAP server, and visualizes the results graphically in
two ways: by CQ or ITU Zones (short-path or long-path) and by band-specific zone charts (short-path or long-path, too). There are
quite a number of charts to analyze but I am confident it's all worth the effort. The tables can easily be copied to word-processing
software if you wish to make them fit better on paper. I strongly recommend using the Google Chrome browser to read the pages as I
found that some of the mainstream browsers on some platforms seem to have hard time printing (and even copying) background-colored
table cells.
