Description

A simple application to assist ham radio operators in everyday HF propagation prediction.The application calculates MUF (Maximum Usable Frequency) and LUF (Lowest Usable Frequency) to any location in the world based on SSN data.
The application is based on MicroMUF, developed in 1984 by Raymond Fricker from BBC External Service.

Although the algorithms used in MicroMUF have some limitations compared to other more advanced algorithms (like IONCAP), the calculations are very accurate for everyday use in the HF range (2-30Mhz).

The application contains the complete and updated DXCC countries list, so that you do not have to enter latitude/longitude but type directly the DXCC prefix or country name for the transmitter and receiver location, while the SSN is retrieved automatically from NOAA site if required.

Most often used propagation paths can be saved so that a prediction can run on them later.There is no limit to the number of paths stored into the application.

**** Due to repeated unavailability the SSN sources the latest version 1.91 contains the required data embedded in the application. I hope to quickly resolve the issue once and for all. Version 1.91 may be the last update of the app as I am working on a completely new and different replacement app. Stay tuned! Thanks, Nick , SV1DJG****

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

4 ★This app works great on my Samsung Note 10.1. The only thing is to add more areas to the larger countries such as Russian Federation, Canada, China, Brazil and the USA.
4 ★It seems to work, though given the size of the US, it would be nice if it allowed a more specific location or used the phone's location...but not a big deal to be without.
5 ★Basic MUF package. Remarkable that you can now have that in your pocket.
5 ★Great prediction app
4 ★Works as advertised! W5JEP
5 ★I really like this app, no bells and whistles but does exactly what it says on the tin. Suggestion for improvement: automatic download of the current sunspot number on startup, also save the receiver's location so that the users don't have to retype it.
4 ★It would be nice if there was some sort of help or a faq for this.
5 ★it was about time someone to write a propagation prediction app.does not matter if its not ioncap!works great!
2 ★I tried to like this app, but it just didn't quite have the functionality needed to be useful. The inability to set locations by grid calls into question just how useful it's model can be. The US is divided into three zones, but even larger countries aren't. When you calculate Eastern US to Canada, is that Maine to Nova Scotia (next door to Maine's northeast), or Maine to Victoria (6000km to Maine's west)?
2 ★Unable to enter xmiter location. Ask me to pick from list unable to drop down list.
2 ★Using a single location option for the whole continental U.S. is just wrong. California and Maine are not going to be the same, but they are to this app.
5 ★I've become to enjoy using this app, especially as I'm a Digital modes operator on HF, as I can check on what I can TRY and work on the bands and at what times!
