LOL-  Great minds think alike (fools seldom differ :-) !

I didn't know that was part of the original report - honest.  

I really do find the kind of information you posted a real help to
understanding where to be and when.  And if I do, many of those who've
come after who never had the fun of being an SWL should certainly value
it.

One thing I've been meaning to mention to Don (XTT) for a while is, is
there any chance of returning to the old format of band reports in
Radcom?  In the olden days when I was an SWL you used to get the reports
for each band broken down by time so that you knew what really was
workable at a particular time rather than just the theoretical output
from prediction programs.

Which brings me to - propogation prediction programs -  which ones do
people use and are they any good?
