There are a whole suite of tools for this via SWS as well. Use the http://www.sws.bom.gov.au/Category/HF%20Systems/Online%20Tools/Prediction%20Tools/HF/HF.php and network selection tool to model circuits between arbitrary global points.
Failing that there is a huge list of isonode locations to pick from for HAP modelling at http://www.sws.bom.gov.au/HF_Systems/1/1/1 Cheers, Sam VK2GPL On Thu, 31 Jan 2019 at 08:33, glen english <[email protected]> wrote: > yeah from that abstract, that makes sense. > > Alan, I'll send you a bunch of predictions for each hour from Sydney is > it or the Gong ? > > g > On 31/01/2019 6:36 AM, Alan Beard wrote: > > *Hi Glen and all,* > > *You wrote:* > > * > > * > > * > > > 20m wont cover the whole country.... you'll need about 5 > > frequencies, at least 2 simulatenous at all times, maybe 3.... > > > > > * > > * > > * > > *And how many VHF repeaters do we have in our country, perhaps 300.* > > * > > * > > *Thanks for the magic diagrams, it shows that if Wyalla wants to talk > > to Adelaide,* > > *with the equipment they have, HF only, then there is a path via a > > repeater, if it were a skip distance away.* > > * > > * > > *Does this make sense?* > > * > > * > > *I aim to (well one is running now) start the process of giving this a > > try.* > > * > > * > > *So, I'm asking, what frequencies would you suggest?* > > * > > * > > *The Codan to be used will do 2 to 14MHz USB or LSB.
