[SADXA] Sunspots, IONCAP, etc.

[Keith KR7RK]

Hello SADXA folk,
last night many of you watched as Eric gave an excellent demonstration of ionospheric modeling.  I can certainly see how it could be very useful for planning when and how to work DX, or even for a DXpedition to make their operating plan.
Here is some follow-up information from Eric.

Hi Y'all

Here is a link to the sunspot discussion I was talking about last night.

Here is a link to the place to get the ionosphere modeling program.  It is called "itshfbc".

The manuals in .PDF format are also available from the above page.  The manuals are a bit out of date but are still quite useful.

Keith,

If there is any interest in the modeling program from the group, could you post the link to the reflector?

Also, if someone has a USB port but not a useful connection to the internet and wants the program, I have the program and the manuals on a thumb drive.

Eric
