LIVE MUF Calculator

The idea behind LIVE MUF Calculator was for live calculating the possible sporadic-e MUF on VHF during es season from spots received via a DX-cluster. There are a number of MUF calculators available for download but all of them required the manual input of the spot locators to calculate the MUF.

The program connects to a DXC via a telnet gateway link and processes the spots that you see. Then the program decides whether the spot is a valid sporadic e spot and calculates MUF from the spot info, centre locator and where you should be beaming to work DX. It also calculates frequency of traffic (which is the highest frequency that is possible for you towards the calculated destination).

This is meant as a guide to where to beam to and on what frequency but always remember that many hams don't spot all qso's so some of the qso's that take place will show a higher MUF but are never spotted, also remember that sometimes the MUF can be high but due to low amateur activity there is no way to find out where the MUF is.
