Wes,
I did download recent version of DX Atlas.
One thing useful and favorable is its ability to show the LP and SP on
Mercator projection. I have other tools for this, but more cumbersome. It is
is nice to observe these paths though the auroral zones and the MUF, foF2 or
foE regions.
There are things I don't like, but it might be just my inexperience using
this tool. For example, I cannot seem to find any numbers on the, MUF, foF2
or foE gradients. I must be missing a toggle somewhere, or a plug-in? I
would also like to add the gray-line WITH the MUF, foF2 or foE data. But it
appears gray-line is mutually exclusive of these gradient graphics.
We can discuss off-line of reflector W7EXG at Q.com.
I agree DX ATLAS has value, but numbers on the gradient graphics, and
allowing gray-line with foF2 and foE data would make it even better.
I must be missing something?
73's and thanks!
Bill W7EXG

As I think you know I'm a fan of DX Atlas. Alex also writes "Ionoprobe"
which
plugs into DX Atlas. You might see if it would be useful in your pursuits.
There are trial versions of both.
