SPLAT! (short for an RF Signal Propagation, Loss, And Terrain analysis tool [1]) is a GNU GPL-licensed terrestrial radio propagation model application initially written for Linux but has since been ported for Windows and OS X.
WSPR (pronounced "whisper") is an acronym for Weak Signal Propagation Reporter. It is a protocol, implemented in a computer program, used for weak-signal radio communication between amateur radio operators. The protocol was designed, and a program written initially, by Joe Taylor, K1JT. The software code is now open source and is developed by a ...
The Longley–Rice model (LR) is a radio propagation model: a method for predicting the attenuation of radio signals for a telecommunication link in the frequency range of 40 MHz to 100 GHz. [1] Longley-Rice is also known as the irregular terrain model (ITM).
VOACAP (Voice of America Coverage Analysis Program) [1] is a radio propagation model that uses empirical data to predict the point-to-point path loss and coverage of a given transceiver if given as inputs: two antennas (configuration and position), solar weather, and time/date.
There are alternative software packages available for JT65 including MultiPSK (a commercial package developed by F6CTE), [14] and JT65-HF HB9HQX Edition (a free software package forked from the JT65-HF project developed by W6CQZ). [15] The JT65-HF HB9HQX Edition software, along with the source code, may be obtained from SourceForge. [16]
MacLoggerDX is a full-featured amateur radio contact logger for macOS with Transceiver control, Rotor control, Callbook lookup, QSL handling (Hardcopy / LoTW / eQSL / Club Log), DX Cluster and spotting, and basic contesting support.
Radio propagation is the behavior of radio waves as they travel, or are propagated, from one point to another in vacuum, or into various parts of the atmosphere. [1]: 26‑1 As a form of electromagnetic radiation, like light waves, radio waves are affected by the phenomena of reflection, refraction, diffraction, absorption, polarization, and scattering. [2]
PropNET uses the APRS protocol over AX.25 and PSK31 to study radio frequency propagation. PropNET "probes" transmit position reports, along with information on transmitter power, elevation, and antenna gain, at various frequencies to allow monitoring stations to detect changes in propagation conditions.
