I think Rick's tool is very fascinating.
I am sure Oh6BG and others developing VOACAP will benefit from this tool
that brings the real-life comparison easier to the simulation capabilities,
potentially enhancing the simulations.
For contesters who want to plan their operating strategy, this tool brings
in a bunch of great and completely new features.
Mapping it all on a great circle view with grayline is awesome !
