Thanks for stopping by. This is where I publish a lot of my features and thoughts on HF propagation, antennas and other ham radio topics. I write for a number of radio magazines, including the RSGB's RadCom and ARRL's QST. I am also chairman of the RSGB's Propagation Studies Committee and produce the weekly HF propagation report for GB2RS. When not playing radio I'm a professional journalist specialising in aerospace, science and technology and am also author of four RSGB books.

Propagation charts for January 2010
I have been experimenting with HamCap. It uses the VOACap engine to produce propagation maps and charts. As an experiment I have created a series of band-by-hour charts for the UK - now updaetd for January 2010.
These are based on 100W to a dipole at 35ft, with a smoothed sunspot number of 17. They are all short path too. You can try them here.
I think that 20m looks a bit optimistic with propagation way after sunset - time will tell!
