This is an Australian-based propagation spotting/logger facility with separate "forums" for HF, 50MHz (6m) and VHF/UHF (2m, 70cm, 23cm etc). Ideally suited for use by VK, ZL and near Pacific amateur operators interested in operations on 50MHz and above.

Used for contact coordination for weak signal modes eg meteor scatter (MS), tropo scatter, Earth-Moon-earth (EME), sporadic E (Es) , Trans Equatoral Propagation (TEP), etc for CW, voice, PSK, WSJT ( FSK441, JT65 modes)

Operated by Adam VK4CP.

NEAR-REAL-TIME MUF PAGE


I take no credit for the MUF info available from this link but I do use it to see what is happening. If you haven't been using it maybe you should..


The main site is located at http://www.spacew.com/www/realtime.html for details on interpretation etc..

 

General Propagation info

The solar cycle, sunspot activity and indexes, greyline maps, pictures of the sun etc can all be found on a single web page : http://dx.qsl.net/propagation/index.html

Cycle 24 predictions from the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Centre: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/SolarCycle/SC24/index.html

WWW 50MHz /
6 Metre propagation sources

http://dxworld.com/50prop.html and also watch the DX Summit cluster at http://oh2aq.kolumbus.com/dxs/50.html either direct or via Dx Monitor software. That is where the current propagation info is to be had.
