Hi, I sometimes look at the forecasts and space weather info but that is more often "after action" done in the chair. If we look at that first it gives a place to start. But I agree the final result comes from the chair time. 73, Bill KU8H On 02/17/2017 10:44 AM, donov...@starpower.net wr

Hi Carl, It would be nice to have some hard numbers but they are subject sometimes to misinterpretation. I would have liked to see some hard data about this too and not just for 160 meters. It seems like that grey line involves some sort of magic but just when we think we have it figured out

Kris N5KM asked about greyline propagation predictions. Since his question was posted to the topband reflector, I assume he's only asking in relation to 160-Meters. We do not have any reliable propagation predictions for greyline on 160m. In fact, we really don't have any reliable propagation pred

VOACAP and other propagation forecast tools provide shortpath and longpath predictions. However, at my sunrise I'd like to know the greyline path prediction. For instance, SouthWest to Asia (from Texas). Does anyone know of a propagation tool that shows greyline predictions? Thanks, Kris N5KM ___
