From the VOACAP site: "Note: VOACAP Online knows about the correct SSN values. Therefore DO NOT set any value to SSN, unless you want to experiment." It's really not needed, it's a matter of reading the instructions, and setting that value is used for more advanced modeling purposes, anyhow.
VOACAP's app is simple. When I first started using it I had no idea what half of the stuff on there meant. I learned A TON from using it (IMHO, it's the best way to learn. For those not willing to bother learning:
1) Select your location on the Google map on the top left by dragging and dropping the red/pinkish marker.
2) Drag and drop the blueish marker to an area on the map you might want to listen to.
3) Te circle graph to the right of the map tells you info about what percentage of circuit reliability (Circuit reliability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) there is for the time of day in UTC, and what radio band. Basically when and where a air-wave path is premium. The higher the percentage, the better the conditions would be between the two points.
4) You can also hit the button Run prediction! and that will give you a 2 dimensional chart. THat chart is more informative, but a bit harder to read.
Hope that cleared up any difficulties in understanding my non-simplistic link.
