REALTIME BAND CONDITIONS WEB SITE <http://www.bandconditions.com>:
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.

"The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will dis-
continue the dissemination of the U.S. time and frequency via the NIST
radio stations in Hawaii and Ft. Collins, CO. These radio stations transmit
signals that are used to synchronize consumer electronic products like wall
clocks, clock radios, and wristwatches, and may be used in other applications
like appliances, cameras, and irrigation controllers."
There is a petition to requests continued funding of these stations be
maintained into the 21st century and beyond to ensure future operations.
100,000 signatures are needed by Sept. 15th.
