I occasionally get the chance to operate SOAB-HP unassisted. I use DXAtlas and Ionoprobe, both of which download real-time data from the Internet. In reading the WW rules, nothing seems to remotely i

This isn't the first time this particular "controversy" has come up. I know some top-ranked purists who think internet propagation reports shouldn't be consulted. Personally, I see no harm in it and
