ZoneProp

Zone to Zone Propagation information will be available for the CQWW and other 2008-2009 contests from Radio Sport Canada at: http://www.radiosport.ca/zoneprop/

ZoneProp uses an widely accepted propagation engine to determine the band on which a contestant in one CQ DX zone is likely to be able to contact a contestant in another CQ DX zone taking into account the current geomagnetic activity.

ZoneProp produces a 40 zone by 40 zone matrix that is updated hourly at approximately 20 minutes past the hour. The intersection between a row and column gives the band on which a contestant in the zone represented by the row is mostly likely able to contact an contestant in the zone represented by the column.

The zone numbers in the left hand column are clickable. Once clicked the information for that zone is displayed in isolation above a map of CQ DX zones. The pages are refreshed every 10 minutes in order to capture hourly updates of the matrix.
