VOACAP Propagation Prediction

Point-to-point HF reliability prediction, powered by the NTIA/ITS VOACAP engine — the US government standard model for high-frequency skywave propagation. Enter a circuit, month and solar activity, and get predicted reliability hour by hour.

Solar & Space Weather

Current solar flux, sunspot number and the A and K indices — the same space-weather inputs a propagation run depends on, in one place instead of four. Observations from NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, updated every 15 minutes.

SPEED Build in progress

Terrain-aware RF link planning: path profiles and line-of-sight analysis over elevation data, for laying out circuits before you put antennas up.
