VOACAP (Voice of America Coverage Analysis Program) [1] is a radio propagation model that uses empirical data to predict the point-to-point path loss and coverage of a given transceiver if given as inputs: two antennas (configuration and position), solar weather, and time/date.
[14] [15] There are multiple examples of PSK Reporter being used to aid researchers as well as aiding in the prediction and understand of radio propagation. [ 16 ] [ 17 ] For example, observations made during the 2017 eclipse where over 5,000 amateur radio operators reception reports helped researchers document the eclipse's effect on HF ...
SPLAT! (short for an RF Signal Propagation, Loss, And Terrain analysis tool [1]) is a GNU GPL-licensed terrestrial radio propagation model application initially written for Linux but has since been ported for Windows and OS X.

The program is designed for sending and receiving low-power transmissions to test propagation paths on the MF and HF bands. WSPR implements a protocol designed for probing potential propagation paths with low-power transmissions. Transmissions carry a station's callsign, Maidenhead grid locator, and transmitter power in dBm.
From the figure the received line of sight component may be written as = {() /}and the ground reflected component may be written as = {() (+ ′) / + ′}where () is the transmitted signal, is the length of the direct line-of-sight (LOS) ray, + ′ is the length of the ground-reflected ray, is the combined antenna gain along the LOS path, is the combined antenna gain along the ground-reflected ...
The Egli model is a terrain model for radio frequency propagation. This model, which was first introduced by John Egli in his 1957 paper, [1] was derived from real-world data on UHF and VHF television transmissions in several large cities. It predicts the total path loss for a point-to-point link.
In the prediction of usable frequencies, the FOT is commonly taken as 15% below the monthly median value of the MUF for the specified time and path. The FOT is usually the most effective frequency for ionospheric reflection of radio waves between two specified points on Earth. Synonyms for this term include: frequency of optimum traffic
