The Yasme Foundation Supports Developer of VIEWPROP

The Board of Directors of The Yasme Foundation is pleased to announce that it has made a grant to support further development of
ViewProp (zl2ham.wikispaces.com), a new utility for propagation visualization developed by Rick Kiessig, ZL2HAM. ViewProp integrates
information from the Reverse Beacon Network and worldwide spotting networks with station location information from QRZ.com and
mapping through DXAtlas.  The result is a real-time, worldwide view of amateur radio signals and operation.  ViewProp also supports
a “playback” function to review historical data and provides the user with a number of options to configure both the input data
stream and the way in which the information is displayed.  Currently in beta testing by a global user’s group
(groups.yahoo.com/group/viewprop), the Yasme grant will enable ZL2HAM to complete development with appropriate networked software
tools and release it for public use.


ViewProp is a tool that allows you to view and analyze propagation in real-time by plotting the geographic location of open paths in DxAtlas as determined from Skimmer and cluster spots. It can help you with planning by providing charts showing a history of activity over the previous day, and it also lets you view and optimize antenna pointing directions.
