[TowerTalk] HFTA and other neat programs we use

[lstoskopf at cox.net]

We've all been blessed by fellow Hams who took their time and perhaps advantage of their job duties to bring us all sorts of goodies.  CQ Magazine for years had a propagation column that none of us could have afforded on our own.

Dean worked up to HFTA over the years.  Whether just translating from Fortran or doing a complete rewrite makes no difference.  It gives us at least a good place to start.  Moxon the same.  Cebik apparently took a big leap in learning and investigating.

There has been some comment on verticals on slopes.  Read Moxon's book.

Time and personal thought processes  move on.  Sometimes the source code gets lost one way or another.  But as with one propagation program I use....often if a program gets sold the price goes way up and the code still isn't there to examine.

Thanks to all those guys who don't remember what they did for us.
