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.

of the serious grid chasers have already gotten their squares filled in, so
I'm going to focus on SO50, AO85, and FO29, where the passes reach the most
number of people possible. I do plan to try and get to EK68 and EK57 for
at least one pass during the week (to increase my rover totals)." QSL via
