Propagation tools and markers..

[majoco]

Looking around for some Volmet stations to use as propagation indicators, I came across this item in my list...

SHANNON
3413 SS-SR H+00
8957 H24
5505 H24
13264 SR-SS
H+05, H+10, H+15, H+20, H+30, H+35, H+40, H+45, H+50

"SS-SR" and "SR-SS"???

Ah, sunset to sunrise and sunrise to sunset!!!

Now I have to find out what time SS and SR is on the west coast of Ireland....

Simon Brown's World Map may be able to help. What you don't see is the cursor on the western coast of Ireland.

DX Atlas will also provide sunrise/sunset information around the world.

I believe CSVUserList has this ability too.

This is a good topic for expansion, as knowing when sunset or sunrise in your target area plays a major role in whether you have a chance to hear them.

We have several tools listed in our wiki here...are there others that folks like to use?

I use David Taylor's "WXTrack" so that I can show my grandson the ISS going overhead - but it does have a lot of other features - I can shift the time to forecast when the gray line is coming so I can be prepared. At the moment 1800UTC/0600local is looking good for Shannon!
