PropPro v1.30
Revision History
  
PropPro enhances the usefulness of the NCDXF/IARU International Beacon
Network (IBN) by providing a visual palette for displaying beacon data. Even though each beacon
broadcasts in morse code, no morse code ability is required. Since each beacon broadcasts on a
specific schedule, PropPro will tell you which beacon you are hearing and allow you to assess the
condition of it's signal. You simply listen, click the appropriate button and within 3 minutes
you will have a visual representation of propagation conditions worldwide for the band in question.
Since timing is so critical, PropPro allows you to run NISTIME to synchronize your PC clock with one
of the atomic clock servers operated by the National Institute of Standards. NISTIME is the public
domain atomic clock client created by the NIS. Synchronizing your PC clock to NIS time assures that
you know what beacon you are monitoring.
Among PropPro's many features are:
- true 32-bit application
- ability to synchronize PC clock with NIS atomic clock servers
- beacon maps for 10, 12, 15, 17 and 20 meter bands
- bearing and distance from your QTH to the beacon displayed automatically (short and long paths)
- links to valuable HF propagation and space weather web-based resources
- local and UTC (Universal Coordinated Time) clocks
- complete help file
