4 years. Access is by permission only and permission by one of
the homeowners. It is only accessible by private charter or

roads, stop signs, trendy cafes, or beach-front bars. If you
need it, you bring it. Activity will be both SSB and CW, on 40-2
meters. Bruce will be checking 10m and 6m often for Sporadic E.

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.
