Short wave 1-30MHz area coverage predictionHPFMUF FOT for HAM radio operators.With this App you can create the coverage map for HPF, MUF andFOTbased on the location QTH of your radio station TX definedbylatitude and longitude and minimum radiation angle.Coverage maps are produced by calculating a huge amountofpoint-to-point circuits from the transmitter to a worldwidereceiver grid of 88 x 64, This are 5632 point-to-pointcalculationsof the HF path for 24 hour of the day. A SAMSUNG GalaxyII willneed less than 1 minute to compute the maps, valid for theselectedmonth.The used algorithm are based on the HFMUFES FORTRAN libraryasused by HFMUFESW, IONCAP or VOACAP but ported to JAVA classes.Thelast computation is retained and a new computation will be doneatchanged entry values only. Ionospheric data are inside theJAVAclasses for all months and sun spot number 10, 30, 60, 90, 120and150During map view you can switch between HPF, MUF, FOT andeachhour of the day (UTC). The display will be on as long the mapviewis shown. There are a bunch of different color palettes thatcan beselected. The current selection is retained at App exit, soyoumust go back to the main menu to have the map saved. Later whenyoutouch draw the map button again the the last version is shown.Tocompute again, modify an entry value, month or ssn.Gray-line (dawn zone) and the position of the sun is adjustedforeach hour.At each touch in the right area the day time (UTC) isincreased,in the left screen area UTC is decreased.Watch the touch area functions displayed during thecomputation.At the Highest Possible Frequency HPF, communication canbesupported on 10% of the days (3 days) in the month.

A tool designed by a Ham (KD7UIY), usedtofigure out your QTH, in Amateur Radio speak. Specificallygearedtowards the Mobile radio operator. This comes out of the needtofigure out which county a person is in during many stateQSOparties. Includes a simple log, and can now be able to evenworkwithout the internet at all (With in-app purchase)!The free version includes ads, and includes thelatitude,longitude, and grid square with no internet access. Itrequires aninternet connection to provide county, country, etcWorks with either phones, or tablets. Tablet version makesiteasier to manipulate data, and do logging, even having theabilityto see current data while logging on screen (See screenshots).ADIF files can be exported, including all informationcollected(Upgrade required). The feature list is improvingconstantly, nowthe ability to edit and delete log entries isincluded, along witha database of all LOTW listed call signs.Submit your logs toLogbook of the World and eQSL. LOTW includesputting the loggedinformation from Ham Finder in to your contact,so you can travelfrom gridsquare to gridsquare and not have to doanything specialto log your contacts! See a map of where you'vemade QSOs that arelogged. Check the DXCC of the callsign you areconsidering logging.More coming soon!The tool is US centric right now, but an effort isbeingundertaken right now to expand the list, particularly inofflineoperations. Already the local translation is used for StatesandCounties, and will likely be used for Countries soon. I'mworkingon improving the translations across the board, in fact, tosimplywork everywhere.
