"My next multi continent DXpedition will start 17 April, 2017. Unfortu-
nately it WON'T include Equatorial Guinea & Annobón due to not being
issued the licenses. Regardless, these upcoming DXpeditions should still
generate good interest. I'm also considering (gasp, wheeze) operating
RTTY & PSK due to high need. No SSB operation will take place. CW #1.
..........Full information soon."

REALTIME BAND CONDITIONS WEB SITE :
The purpose of this experimental Web site is to provide 24-7-365 actual
(REALTIME) band condition information to CW QRPp, QRPe and CW/SSB for
Contesters interested in increasing their scores. It can also be of
benefit to other Radio Amateurs to determine band conditions for Nets
and casual QSO's. This information is NOT based on any software pre-
dictions or any kind of satellite based readings. It is based on a
new Ionospheric sounding method called "HF Ionospheric Interferometry"
which operates very similarly to the PolSAR system used by NASA.
