Dear 160m operators,

Now with Space Age tools we can "follow up" the Propagation mysteries much easier.

Yesterday night after following a comment in reflector i found a very impressive tool: http://wsprnet.org/drupal/

I am now reviewing my plans for the Propagation Tester Project (delayed due family reasons) and will announce a new "format".

I would like to hear comments on this subject for "ideas trimming" to help me define a Simple to use and Powerful Tool.

Thanks, 

Mac

Rmks.

Back in the 70´s i was active with Rolf (py1ro), Paddy (ei9j) and others in the "Transequatorial Tests". Some years later with my dear friend Stew (w1bb) and others friends i conducted my Tests. In 2001 i used Argo.exe to do some tests with excellent results. 

The Passion for the 160m Propagation Mysteries followed me all the time. DHJ, Loran´s, WWV at 2.5 were our main indicators. And always looking for the "openings". I remember perfectly when i turned on my converted BC 348Q and was able to do many DX Phone QSO´s with my Bendix TA12B (AM) at the night of a Geomagnetic Storm. Impossible to forget the emotion!
