VOACAP
GOES ONLINE <http://online.voacap.com>.
Jari, OH6BG, informs OPDX:
"I am glad to inform that making
point-to-point HF propagation predictions
is now easier than ever as
VOACAP Online has been opened to the public.
The service uses VOACAP
(Voice of America Coverage Analysis Program)
which is arguably one of
the best HF prediction engines available on the
market today.
VOACAP Online is free to all and makes using VOACAP a no-brainer. Just
enter
the coordinates of the transmitter and the receiver, and that's
all.
To find the coordinates, you can use the Google Maps based QTH
Locator
at: http://www.voacap.com/qth.html
The prediction
is given as a 'circuit reliability' graph that shows
the probability
of achieving a CW-grade transmission quality between
the transmitter
and the receiver.
VOACAP Online is brought to you by Jari
Perkiomaki/OH6BG, James Watson/
HZ1JW and Juho Juopperi/OH8GLV."
