Re: [DX-CHAT] Only Mother Nature Knows
Most 'simplistic' propagation programs do NOT do a good job of predicting Long Path (or Low Band) propagation. I find that Terminator Maps such as The DX Edge or the MAP protion of W6EL Prop combined with a knowledge of how Low Band Propagation works is much more useful.

PropView, which utilizes the IONCAP engine, accurately predicted the 20m longpath opening from the US East Coast to VK9/X. Its free, and available via www.qsl.net/dxlab . 73, Dave, AA6YQ -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry, K4WLS Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 2:47 AM To: [DX-Chat] Subject: [DX-CHAT] Only Mother Nature Knows Last few days, I been tinkering with W6EL Prop trying to get it to spew forth some LP Prop from VK9/X to NC.
