<P>
|
|
<P>This command allow you to estimate the likelihood of you contacting
|
|
a station with the prefix you have specified. The output assumes a modest
|
|
power of 20dBW and receiver sensitivity of -123dBm (about 0.15muV/10dB SINAD)
|
|
<P>The result predicts the most likely operating frequencies and signal
|
|
levels for high frequency (shortwave) radio propagation paths on
|
|
specified days of the year and hours of the day. It is most useful for
|
|
paths between 250 km and 6000 km, but can be used with reduced accuracy
|
|
for paths shorter or longer than this.
|
|
<P>The command uses a routine MINIMUF 3.5 developed by the U.S. Navy and
|
|
used to predict the MUF given the predicted flux, day of the year,
|
|
hour of the day and geographic coordinates of the transmitter and
|
|
receiver. This routine is reasonably accurate for the purposes here,
|
|
with a claimed RMS error of 3.8 MHz, but much smaller and less complex
|
|
than the programs used by major shortwave broadcasting organizations,
|
|
such as the Voice of America.
|
|
<P>The command will display some header information detailing its
|
|
assumptions, together with the locations, latitude and longitudes and
|
|
bearings. It will then show UTC (UT), local time at the other end
|
|
(LT), calculate the MUFs, Sun zenith angle at the midpoint of the path
|
|
(Zen) and the likely signal strengths. Then for each frequency for which
|
|
the system thinks there is a likelihood of a circuit it prints a value.
|
|
<P>The value is currently a likely S meter reading based on the conventional
|
|
6dB / S point scale. If the value has a '+' appended it means that it is
|
|
1/2 an S point stronger. If the value is preceeded by an 'm' it means that
|
|
there is likely to be much fading and by an 's' that the signal is likely
|
|
to be noisy.
|
|
<P>By default SHOW/MUF will show the next two hours worth of data. You
|
|
can specify anything up to 24 hours worth of data by appending the no of
|
|
hours required after the prefix. For example:-
