The PropNET Project

PropNET is an ad-hoc 2-way (and potentially, "more-way") RF-based digital communication network whose activity is reported on the Internet. As participating stations periodically ID and exchange data, they report their activity to an Internet data-collection hub for presentation through this web site.

KN4LF Daily LF/MF/HF Radio Propagation Outlook

A daily LF/MF/HF radio propagation forecast.

VHF/UHF Propagation

In the past few years there has been a growing movement from VHF frequencies (50-300 MHz) to UHF (300-900 MHz). Many, however, have found the move fraught with difficulties.

IPS – HF Systems MUF maps and prediction charts

These pages provide general propagation advice for HF communicators. Information available includes inferred global propagation conditions, real time HF fadeout coverage charts, regional ionospheric vertical MUF maps and Hourly Area Prediction charts for Astralia and Asia, Europe and North America

D-Region Absorption Prediction

This map represent the current position of the sun and how a solar flare influence an HF fade. Estimated recovery time is also represented. Includes son java and javascript animations of last two hour conditions

Basics of Propagation by ON4SKY

Thierry LOMBRY, ON4SKY, develops in several long articles the bascis of propagation. His website includes also a French section dealing with auroras.
