Like I said before Great Job!. What I was wondering is if you could be able to do a "any station" and "any language" scan at say NOW... so you can see whats on the bands and scan through to see what you can catch. I know that maybe its a huge undertaking but I just wanted to throw my hat into the ring.

g1jaj: This is a very useful tool. Thanks for taking the time and putting forth the effort to develop it; I"m sure it wasn't easy. And another big thanks for posting it online for the benefit of all.

And thanks for a great SW program sir. I've toyed around with it and find it really helpful. Along with the rest of the gang here, you deserve the "Hero's Badge"

Excellent site. thank you

OK, so new toys to play with. If the site can work out where you are a red dot appears on the map where at your location. (If the dot is in the wrong place, visit hostip.info and tell it where you are as this is the database that's used to try and work out your location - it's not 100% accurate).

If the dot appears (and if it's in the right place!) if you mouseover the transmitter sites, it will tell you the bearing from you to the site and how far away it is in km. Also, a signal strength bar will appear. This is supposed to give an indication of the probability that you will be able to receive the transmission. It uses your location, the tx site location, the tx power and bearing, time of day and so on to try and work it out but it's what I guess you would call 'in beta testing'. It doesn't check the solar conditions so it is only a guide.

Have fun and thanks for all the nice words. Makes the effort worthwhile.

P.S. The request for 'all stations, all languages' would yield so many results that you wouldn't be able to see anything on the map at all. I'm going to see if I can do 'all stations, all languages, in one band (eg 48mb)' which might give a more reasonable results... I'll add that to the 'to do list' anyhow!

Thank you Richard for that site. I started using it in 2009 and the recent changes are great, especially not having to sift through +/- 10KHz, but it's nice to have the option.

It's funny, I was just looking on the site a few days ago wondering who was working on it to send a note of thanks. I just magically found the link to Aoki's site. I'll have to look around there too.

P.S. I use typically use Safari and the site has always looked/worked for me that I can recall.

Richard, you ought to give credit to yourself on the Web site. Last time I looked one couldn't tell who the guilty person was. Great job!
