PropNET

This morning on 3968 we learned from ki4SGU a little bit about PropNET, a project that uses PSK31 to create an RF-based digital peer-to-peer network. The link in the preceding sentence will take you to the FAQ for some background info.

A fascinating product of this project is an automated communication circuit quality report, a type of propagation map that displays connections made among stations whose locations are marked on the map. The graphical display is frequently updated, giving a snapshot of propagation conditions at the time of viewing. The results can be displayed for all bands or for a single band of interest. Click on any station's location point for info from QRZ.com.

Enjoy!
