Latest SSN / Flux Forecast :: Propagation Resource Center :: HFRadio.org
URGENT - We still need help to keep going! The monthly bandwidth/connectivity fees as well as other expenses must be paid to keep this Space Weather and Radio Propagation resource up and running. The server upgrade, minus the new memory needed, has been paid for. But, we still need the memory, and still need to replace power modules and batteries. (We cannot move to the new server until memory is paid for and upgraded). If you find this site useful, would you please help out, today? I need your help to offset the cost of running this server and providing these web resources (space weather, amateur radio, shortwave listening, and more). Please Help Keep HFRadio.org Alive! If you can help, today, please make a donation to HFRadio.org - click the PayPal button, to help... any amount that you can spare. THANK YOU.

Check out the ACE-HF propagation software - the latest is version 2.05. ACE-HF is propagation forecasting and modeling for Amateur Radio as well as for Shortwave radio Listening and general HF operation. This software is even used by the military and other clients around the world. This software is developed and maintained by the same engineers that keep VOACAP up-to-date. As a result, this software is the most accurate user interface integrated with VOACAP. CHECK IT OUT, TODAY. This software is the most accurate modeling software available, and is endorsed by NW7US. Read the details to find out why.
